About Travel to Nakhon Pathom
Nakhon Pathom is fairly large city with an estimated 120,000 permanent residents which located about 60 km to the West of Bangkok. Nakhon Pathom was a significant city from the 8th to 11th Centuries after which, following an invasion by the Khmer Empire, fell into decline until a Royally sponsored re-population of the city started in the latter half of the 19th Century.
Phra Pathom Chedi
The reason why the city was repopulated was because of an important religious site in the city, the significance of which was popularised by the future King Rama IV during the time when he was Buddhist monk. The religious site in question is Phra Pathom Chedi. This chedi tower is believed to mark the spot of Thailand’s oldest Buddhist temple.
Over the years there have been a number of different chedi towers on the same spot. The 120 metre tall tower, the tallest in Thailand, which currently dominates the city centre skyline was constructed at the behest of King Rama IV. The construction took 17 years from 1853 to 1870.
The Sanam Chan Palace is one of two major tourists attractions in Nakhon PathomSanam Chandra Palace
Three decades later, following a visit to the Phra Pathom Chedi, King Rama VI decided to build a palace 1 km away from chedi to save himself the long journey of trying to reach Nakhon Pathom and then return to Bangkok in a single day.
This palace, the Sanam Chandra Palace, is Nakhon Pathom’s other major tourist attraction. It’s not in use any more as a Royal residence and its open to visitors. The palace offers a fascinating glimpse into how the Thai Royal Family lived at the beginning of the 20th Century.
The palace is also interesting because it features a blend of European and Thai architectural style. At the time new ideas from Europe were treated with suspicion by significant parts the upper strata of Thai society and by building a palace well away from the centre of power in Bangkok, King Rama VI had more freedom to embrace European architecture.
