Phranang Ruea Lom Pyramid

Phranang Ruea Lom Pyramid is a stupa within Namtok Phlio National Park, a memorial featuring traditional Thai architectural elements in Chantaburi province. The pyramid-shaped structure rises within forest surroundings and was specifically designed to withstand the environmental conditions of the protected area.

The structure dates to 1881 and was built under King Rama V as a commemorative site. It was a response to a tragic event at the royal court and symbolizes royal concern for dignified remembrance.

The stupa honors a deceased royal figure and was personally named by King Chulalongkorn. The name translates to 'the queen's boat' and reflects the royal reverence preserved within this forest setting.

The site is located within a national park and can be reached through the park's main entrance, where visitors obtain information. Exploration is best done on foot along park trails that lead to the monument.

The choice to place the monument within the national park was deliberate to protect it from natural elements while preserving it within a green setting. This location makes it a rare combination of royal memorial and protected nature reserve.
