Nakhon Pathom Travel Guide

Nakhon Pathom is a small province located just 56 km from Bangkok. It is located in the alluvial plain of central Thailand. It is drained by the Tha Chin River (also called Nakhon Chaisi river), a distributor of the Chao Phraya river. The urban area of Bangkok has already grown until the provincial borders to Nakhon Pathom. The province features an ancient religious structure called “Phra Pathom Chedi”, the first religious landmark that signified the influx of Buddhism into Thailand. Nakhon Pathom is also renowned for its abundant fruits varieties and famous dishes.
