Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Phra Pathommachedi
Phra Pathommachedi is distinguished by a huge chedi in the centre of Nakhon Pathom. Galleries and classes are discovered by respecting the faithful and the rules of dress.
Palace
Sanam Chandra Palace
Sanam Chandra brings together royal buildings and gardens. Access to buildings and visiting procedures must be confirmed with the manager; no interior opening is presumed.
Temple
Wat Rai Khing
Wat Rai Khing occupies an area of the Tha Chin River. The temple remains a living place of worship; ceremonies and movements of the faithful pass before the tourist visit.
Market
Don Wai Market
The Don Wai market grows near the Tha Chin with shops and culinary preparations. The stands and river services follow their own days and schedules.
