Phra Pathom Chedi
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Nakhon Pathom Province

Phra Pathom Chedi

4.2
4.9/5
196 reviews
Phra Pathom Chedi is located inNakhon Pathom Province, 80 km west of Bangkok, Thailand. Phra Pathom Chedi was only 39 m high when first built. By 1853, the pagoda had nearly collapsed, and King Rama IV rebuilt it. The second pagoda was partially destroyed by heavy rain. It was later expanded by King Rama V, resulting in the current structure. The pagoda now consists of 3 pagodas built in different periods, one nested inside the other, a rare design in pagoda architectural art. The pagoda is 120 m high, with a 40 m spiral spire and a circular base 57 m in diameter. Viewed from a distance, the golden pagoda resembles a giant bell, looking spectacular against the backdrop of blue sky and white clouds. Inside the golden pagoda are a golden Buddha statue and a reclining Buddha, housing precious Buddha bones and relics. Additionally, the ashes of King Rama VI are interred within the pagoda. The base of the pagoda consists of two massive platforms. On the first platform where the main pagoda sits, there are two models of the "pagoda within a pagoda," introducing visitors to the history of the pagoda's two reconstructions. The platform is planted with many trees transplanted from Sri Lanka, creating a quiet environment with swaying shadows. There are 4 Buddhist halls on the second platform. The eastern hall is magnificent, housing a statue of Sakyamuni. Behind the statue, the wall features a mural of a tree, surrounded by patterns of dragon kings, hermits, and bird kings. The westernhall is the Reclining Buddha Hall. In front of the hall stands a tree that is 300–400 years old, a precious treasure of the hall. The southern and northern halls also have their own unique features. Additionally, 24 bell pavilions surround the pagoda, arranged in groups of 6 at equal intervals. Every year in mid-November of the Buddhist calendar, the Phra Pathom Chedi Festival is held on the square where the golden pagoda is located. At that time, devotees, merchants, and tourists from all over come not only to worship but also to trade goods and watch cultural performances.Nakhon Pathom · 2.5 km from downtown
Damnoen Saduak Floating Market
No. 13 of Best Things to Do in Central Thailand

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market

4.3/5

Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, located southwest of Bangkok, is a rare example of a market that still retains the traditional Thai floating market atmosphere. With over a century of history, it has been a filming location for many movies, most notably one of the James Bond films. Local residents still live in stilt houses built along the waterways of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market. Most vendors are husband-and-wife teams, conducting their trade year-round on the river. Boats carrying vegetables, fruits, and small goods weave through the narrow waterways of the canals, lined with lush tropical trees. On board, local women, wearing distinctive straw hats, loudly hawk their wares. During peak season, these small merchant boats and passenger boats create traffic jams on the canals, forming a lively scene. Most visitors to Damnoen Saduak Floating Market choose to tour the market by boat, experiencing the fun of shopping from above. Of course, strolling through the covered walkways on the banks offers another unique experience, with vendors selling fruit there as well. If you see food that you like from the vendors on the boat, you can ask them to come ashore.Damnoen Saduak · 33.8 km from Nakhon Pathom

Phra Pathom Chedi Night Market is located in Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand, and is one of the country's historic and iconic outdoor food night markets. It is situated right next to the sacred and majestic Buddhist landmark, Phra Pathom Chedi. As night falls, the pagoda is illuminated, and the magnificent golden stupa complements the bustling open-air market below, creating a unique visual and cultural atmosphere. It is a true foodie paradise, featuring countless traditional Thai street food options. Whether it is classic oyster omelets, grilled meat skewers, boat noodles, or various fresh tropical fruits and specialty desserts, you can enjoy them all here at affordable prices. The market is situated around the pagoda and has long been popular with local residents, students, and tourists from both home and abroad. It is not only a great place to experience the daily life and food culture of ordinary people in central-southern Thailand, but also an ideal spot to check in for a half-day evening trip from Bangkok.Nakhon Pathom · 2.4 km from downtown

This villa of King Thai VI was built in the early 20th century. At that time, King Thai VI was still the prince. The prince bought the land and ordered a palace to be built here. Since King Thai VI was educated at Oxford University, the villa designed is not a traditional Thai style, but rather westernized in style, more like an English manor.Nakhon Pathom · 1.1 km from downtown

Cruise Through Culture: A Must-Visit at Damnoen Saduak Floating Market!If you're in Thailand, don’t miss the magical experience of Damnoen Saduak Floating Market! This vibrant market, set on winding canals, is like stepping into a living postcard. I booked my visit through Trip.com, and everything — from hotel pickup to boat ride — was seamless and hassle-free.Gliding through the waterways, I was surrounded by friendly vendors in wooden boats, selling exotic fruits, delicious Thai snacks, handmade crafts, and more. The aroma of sizzling food and the sight of colorful produce were unforgettable. I tried the mango sticky rice and fresh coconut ice cream — both were incredible!The early morning vibe, reflections on the water, and rich cultural feel make this a photographer’s dream. Damnoen Saduak is more than a market — it’s a slice of Thai heritage that you can see, taste, and feel.#TripWithTripdotcom #ThailandVibes #FloatingMarketAdventure
