Phra Pathom Chedi has a striking beauty with a large bell-shaped chedi, built about 700 years ago. It is considered the largest chedi, ranked number 1 in Thailand. It is the place where the Buddha's relics are enshrined. There are exquisite paintings on the ceiling and walls of the church. There are many Buddha images in various postures that have never been seen anywhere else before, and a very large reclining Buddha. You have to come and see for yourself. Chinese-Thai people like to come and pay homage to the Sa Sae (3 animals: birds, land animals, and water animals) during important festivals such as the Chinese New Year. It is believed that this will help their business prosper. Some people like to bring eggs to make merit as offerings, which are always seen when they come to pay homage. On important Buddhist days, people come to circle Phra Pathom Chedi with candles. Thais enter for free, and foreigners pay 60 baht for admission.
