Phra Pathommachedi, located in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand, is a revered Buddhist stupa and one of the country's most significant religious landmarks. Towering at 120.45 meters, it holds the title of the tallest stupa in Thailand. The structure's history dates back to the 6th century when it was originally built by the Mon people, though it has undergone several restorations, with the current form completed in the 19th century under King Mongkut (Rama IV). The stupa is not only a pilgrimage site but also an architectural marvel, featuring a blend of ancient and modern design elements.
