The stupa is impressively large and well kept up. But other than that, not much to say. You can walk around it, even up close (you have to look for the unmarked arch that leads closer) but YOU CANNOT GO INSIDE. No interior entrance to speak of. A few biggish Buddha statues are along the perimeter. (The one room with interesting wall art didn't allow photos.) And lots of pilgrims. I saw dozens of monks that appeared to be sleeping on the premises, with bed rolls under the roofed sections.
This appears to be an important site for the Thai people: Even on a pandemic-times weekday, the huge parking lot was packed.
However, as a western tourist, not worth the trip from Bangkok. Especially if you've seen your share of Wats already. (The sorta nearby dragon temple - Wat Sam Phran - is more entertaining for a tourist and could use the visitors.)

This temple is located very close to Nakhon Pathom Railway station. It is considered as one of the most sacred Buddhist temples of Thailand . It is located in the Nakhon Pathom province. Tourist can go there by bus, van or by train from Bangkok railway station. It is a very large temple situated on a huge land area. The pagoda has cannonical hape with a dome. It may take 2 hours to walk around. It has stairs to climb up and there is a golden Buddha statue for worship.

This place is a must to be visited for first start tour on the city. There are many spots to checkout esp. museum which is on the way between Laung Po Phra Ruang rojanarit and Luang Po Prathannporn . It’s temporary kept buddha relics here, so we can pay respect closeup. Walking clockwisely , then Jao Mae Thakian thong cave, King Rama the V monastery and finally reclining 14 metred long Buddha. Please allow 1-2 hours to visit all spots of attraction in this place.

Phra Pathom Chedi is one of the important tourist attractions in Nakhon Pathom. The highlight is a very large golden chedi in the middle. You can pay homage to monks and there are many restaurants or street food that are delicious and famous.

This is Wat Phra Pathom Chedi Ratchaworawihan. It is the largest pagoda in Thailand. I am very proud to be in Nakhon Pathom. I've seen Wat Phra Pathom Chedi. Very beautiful. Surrounding the temple is shady. Suitable for coming with family or friends. Or will you come alone because you might find good friendships? The people here are very kind and friendly. I love it here.

I would recommend everyone to go It's a place I frequent. Because this place is like a night market. All Nakhon Pathom residents know this place for sure. This market is only sold in the evening. There are various food stalls. both savory and dessert.
This place is open for sale everyday.The route to come here is very convenient. There is enough parking space for everyone. Or the bus can stop near the station. and can walk into the market only a short distance.

Phra Pathom Chedi is one of the places I visit often. go to pray for blessings on various occasions such as birthdays, new years There is a wide area to walk around and look around. The atmosphere is good, the wind blows all the time. There is a place to take beautiful photos and around there are many things to eat. There are many places to pray here. And there are quite a lot of interesting things. If the situation now improves, I will go to it again.

Appreciate the architecture and history, regardless of religion and races. This Wat/Stupa is so beautiful. I was here twice, day & night. There is a huge night market right next to the temple, with ample parking. Great view at night. I can see it from my hotel too.

After our Talad Rom Hob visit we proceed to Phra Pathom Chedi by van and arrived at base of the Chedi Pagoda.We walked straight to the stair of the Chedi and was surprising callback by the driver and asked to pay a 60Bht entrance fee.I promptly paid the fee for 8 person and made our way up to the Chedi to offer prayer to the Buddha.Infact I never paid this fee during my few years visit here partly because only 2 of us came here by public bus and probably treated us as local Thai and also our van park next to the fee collection booth and we speak foreign language.
After prayer, we walk round the 1000 years Chedi and finally proceed to the market medical shop to buy a few boxes of medicated oil.Next we have our lunch at Nakhon Pathom local A/C restaurant recommended by our driver.

This is really a historical place in nakhonpatom... it has a really deep history and it is really fun for people who are curious about cultures and histories... it has four gates to enter and one of the gates is used by the royal family of Thailand... the entrance is free, yet you require minimum 2 hours to really see the whole pagoda... especially when you go with a group of crazy friends.
