Chedi Yuthahatthi

Chedi Yuthahatthi is a tall white Buddhist stupa located in Don Chedi that rises above the surrounding landscape with a square base and pointed spire. The structure displays traditional Thai architectural elements throughout its design and form.

The monument was commissioned to commemorate King Naresuan's victory against Burmese Crown Prince Mingyi Swa in 1592. This confrontation took place as a single combat between the two rulers, marking a major moment in Thai history.

The monument serves as a place where Buddhist monks and local residents gather during important festivals to perform religious ceremonies and honor King Naresuan through prayer and offerings.

The site can be reached via Highway 340 from Suphan Buri and remains open daily from sunrise to sunset. Visitors should plan to spend time exploring the grounds and checking local conditions before their visit.

An annual celebration at this site features historical reenactments of the famous duel between the two rulers, often including elephant performances. These events bring the historic moment to life through live demonstrations and theatrical presentations.
