Phutthamonthon

Phutthamonthon is a district in the eastern part of Nakhon Pathom province comprising three subdistricts: Salaya, Khlong Yong, and Maha Sawat. The area is marked by religious institutions and serves as an important educational and administrative hub for the region.

The district was separated from Nakhon Chai Si in 1991 with three tambons and gained official status in 1996. These administrative changes helped better organize the region's religious and educational functions.

The name translates to Mandala of the Buddha, reflecting its role as a spiritual center for Buddhist practice. Religious sites here shape the daily spiritual life of the community and welcome visitors exploring the faith.

The district is best explored by car or public transport due to its spread-out layout across multiple subdistricts. Visitors should allow flexible time to explore the various religious sites and educational facilities throughout the area.

The area holds a substantial Buddhist park that functions as a spiritual and learning center for religious study. This space draws both pilgrims and local school groups who use it for educational visits.
