Re-exploring the Buddhist “Foundation Deposits” at Chedi Chula Prathon, Nakhon Pathom

2015, In D. Christian Lammerts (ed.), Buddhist Dynamics in Premodern and Early Modern Southeast Asia, Singapore, Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, pp. 172-217

This contribution comprises a detailed consideration of “ritual deposits” dating to the eighth-ninth centuries CE excavated at the site of Chedi Chula Prathon in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. Focusing in particular on the intriguing presence of a khakkhara (“rattle-staff”), the only material example of which that has been found in mainland Southeast Asia, I argue that these deposits functioned in rituals associated with the consecration or reconsecration of the site. Through a broad survey of textual and iconographic sources from across the Buddhist world, as well as especially suggestive proximate Burmese and Javanese parallels, I show how the presence of the khakkhara connects Chedi Chula Prathon to a regional Buddhist ritual geography during the late first millennium CE.

Ranging across the longue durée of Thailand’s history, Monastery, Monument, Museum is an eminently readable and original contribution to the study of the kingdom’s art and culture. Eschewing issues of dating, style, and iconography, historian Maurizio Peleggi addresses distinct types of artifacts and artworks as both the products and vehicles of cultural memory. From the temples of Chiangmai to the Emerald Buddha, from the National Museum of Bangkok to the prehistoric culture of Northeast Thailand, and from the civic monuments of the 1930s to the political artworks of the late twentieth century, even well-known artworks and monuments reveal new meanings when approached from this perspective. Part I, “Sacred Geographies,” focuses on the premodern era, when religious credence informed the cultural alteration of landscape, and devotional sites and artifacts, including visual representation of the Buddhist cosmology, were created. Part II, “Antiquities and National History,” covers the 1830s through the 1970s, when antiquarianism, and eventually archaeology, emerged and developed in the kingdom, partly the result of a shift in the elites’ worldview and partly a response to colonial and neocolonial projects of knowledge. Part III, “Discordant Mnemoscapes,” deals with civic monuments and artworks that anchor memory of twentieth-century political events and provide stages for both their commemoration and counter-commemoration by evoking the country’s embattled political present. Monastery, Monument, Museum shows us how cultural memory represents a kind of palimpsest, the result of multiple inscriptions, reworkings, and manipulations over time. The book will be a rewarding read for historians, art historians, anthropologists, and Buddhism scholars working on Thailand and Southeast Asia generally, as well as for academic and general readers with an interest in memory and material culture. http://www.uhpress.hawaii.edu/p-9828-9780824866068.aspx

<https://bookshop.iseas.edu.sg/publication/2182>. Ritual bronzes found in Java, on the Mon-Khmer Khorat plateau and along the Malay peninsula suggest that Buddhist communities, connected by the spread of Esoteric Buddhist doctrines and practices across Maritime Asia in the 8th-12th centuries, rapidly absorbed and adapted imported icons.

Despite recent stone tool evidence demonstrating a much older Early Pleistocene human presence in India, the timing and geography of human demographic expansions in continental Southeast Asia remains ambiguous. The recent discovery of a series of stone artifacts spread over a basalt level at Ban Don Mun in the Lampang province of northern Thailand presents an ideal opportunity for reevaluating lithic assemblages documented during the 1970s and 1980s in the same region. Both the position of these stone tools and new absolute dates indicate a Middle Pleistocene age and call into question the status of these artifacts as the oldest yet found in Southeast Asia. The uncertain geo-chronological context and technological analysis of the chopper industry from previous work in the Lampang area prompted us to undertake new surveys in continental Southeast Asia in order to help clarify the route and timing of Pleistocene human expansions in this part of the world.

The Status of Research on the Dialects over the East of Thailand in Five Decades (1969-2022)

• Nattha Khamchoo Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University
• Apirak Chaipanha Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University
• Khajita Sripoom Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University
• Bhob Sawasdee Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Burapha University

This article aims to synthesize the status of the research on dialects of the Eastern region of Thailand in a 54-year period (from 1969 - 2022). The synthesis is conducted through examination of master theses and dissertations whose data sources are dialects in the Eastern region, and the publication of these theses was between 1969 - 2022. Twenty-six research works from seven universities (Silpakorn University, Mahidol University, Chulalongkorn University, Burapha University, Srinakarinwirot University, Kasetsart University, and Taksin University) were found using the dialects as their data sources. The study fields in which dialects are used as research data sources are Linguistics, Epigraphy in the Thai Language, Thai Language, Thai Language and Literature, Educational Linguistics, and Khmer Studies. Dialects were from all seven eastern provinces (Chanthaburi, Trat, Rayong, Prachinburi, Srakaew, Chonburi, and Chachoengsao).  The research works are on aspects such as phonological and morphological systems, syntactical structures of sounds, words, phrases, sentences, and meanings, relations between dialect and sociocultural context, comparative dialects; and dialectal geography for linguistic landscape purposes; however, the number of research works examining the eastern dialects are fewer than those done on dialects in other regions, and the data are rather out of date. This research may lead to further studies which reveal a greater body of knowledge about local dialects in the Eastern region of Thailand.

11 Top-Rated Attractions & Things to Do in Nakhon Pathom

Written by Diana Bocco Updated Dec 26, 2023 We may earn a commission from affiliate links ( )

Nakhon Pathom was once a place of royal and religious significance-but time and the changing geographic landscape altered the province, shifting its appearance as the sea retreated more than 50 kilometers from Thailand's central plains.

Despite the changes, this is still an attractive destination for visitors because the location is convenient (about 50 kilometers from Bangkok), and it houses one of the greatest Buddhist monuments in the region.

Since Nakhon Pathom is a short drive from the Thai capital, the area's main sightseeing attractions can be taken in during a quick day trip. Or you can allow a few days for a visit and enjoy everything the area has to offer.

For ideas on what to see when visiting this often-ignored province, take a look at our list of top tourist attractions in Nakhon Pathom.

1. Phra Pathom Chedi

2. phra pathom chedi - museum, 3. phra pathom chedi festival, 4. sanam chan palace, 5. wat bang phra, 6. wat phra ngam, 7. rose garden thai village, 8. jesada technik museum, 9. wat lam phaya floating market, 10. woodland muangmai, 11. wat sisrathong, where to stay in nakhon pathom for sightseeing, map of attractions & things to do in nakhon pathom, nakhon pathom, thailand - climate chart.

Known as the "holiest and first among chedis," Phra Pathom Chedi is the single most important attraction in this ancient enclave. At 118 meters, (127 meters including the terraces), it is the tallest Buddhist monument in the world, standing higher even than the famous Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Burma.

The legend of the chedi is a tragic one: It's said that an astrologer told the ancient King Phya Kong that one day his son would kill him. The king sent his son to live in the forest, where a woman found him and raised him. As a young man, the son, called Phya Pan, entered the service of the King of Ratchaburi, who was a vassal of the king of the neighboring kingdom Nakhon Chaisi.

Phya Pan's great wisdom and prudence brought him to the attention of the king, who adopted him. Phya Pan persuaded him to wage war against his feudal lord and, during the ensuing battle, killed his own father. After the victory, he followed local custom by marrying the queen, his mother, but then learned the story of his origins. The dagoba (tomb) he built as an act of atonement was the predecessor of the Phra Pathom Chedi and is today concealed within the larger structure.

The great chedi stands on a circular terrace in the middle of a square park, surrounded by a latticework wall, with the main entrance on the north side. The bot, one of the buildings on the terrace, holds a Buddha made of clear quartzite and overlaid with lacquer and gold leaf. This Dvaravati-style figure shows the Buddha seated in the European pose, "the Buddha of the future."

The four wiharns consist of an open lobby and an inner room. A bronze statue of a standing Buddha in the Sukhothai style, known as Phra Ruang Rojanarit, stands in the lobby of the northern wiharn and is a highly revered piece. An inscription on the wall of the wiharn says that the ashes of King Mongkut are interred in the plinth.

The old temple museum, containing Mon stucco and stone sculptures, is in the wiharn near the East entrance. The main building of the museum dates back to 1979 and is by the South steps. Here, you'll see stone tablets from Nakhon Pathom's earliest days, as well as coins, statues of Buddha, and everyday objects from Thailand's ancient past.

There are also a number of stone and terra-cotta sculptures and a bas-relief of the Buddha preaching to his first disciples, as well as items showcasing Nakhon Pathom's history and development through the decades.

Every year pilgrims from all over Thailand flock to Nakhon Pathom's Grand Temple festival in November. The chedi itself is lit up with fairy lights while classical dance drama, shadow plays, and other entertainments take place on the terraces.

During the festival, the great square at the chedi's foot is turned into an amusement park, buzzing with activities and plenty of stalls serving hot food. Don't miss out on the chance to try Khao Lam, a traditional local dessert of sweet sticky rice served on bamboo. There's also a sprawling market here during the festival, where you can buy anything from Buddhist amulets to second-hand clothes, trinkets, and souvenirs.

In 1910, before he became king, Rama VI built the Sanam Chan Palace in the northwest of the town. The massive complex has some interesting buildings in a mixture of Thai and European styles. There are a number of ornate halls that were used as theaters and meeting rooms, as well as the Phiman Pathom Hall, where Rama VI is said to have seen a miraculous vision of Phra Pathom Chedi.

In the audience chamber, a small shrine contains a statue of the Hindu god Ganesha, with the head of an elephant and a human body with many arms. The curious statue of a dog in front of the Chali Mongkol Asana, as the building is called, is probably meant to be Ya Le-the favorite dog of King Rama IV.

These buildings now house provincial government offices but still provide an interesting look into the ancient society that once existed in this unique part of Thailand.

While the true origins of this temple are unknown, archeologists believe it dates back to the late 18th century. Today, monks practice here the art of giving sak yant tattoos , a traditional art form in which they use a long stick to tattoo a blessing onto the back.

Tourists can visit and get a tattoo, though the monk chooses which to use. These are meant to protect the bearer from evil, and bring them strength and luck.

Wat Bang Phra is the site of the annual Sak Yant Festival, when over 10,000 people flock to Nakhon Pathom to practice and honor this ancient tattoo art form. Many become "possessed" during the festival, acting out the behaviors of animal gods or behaving erratically as they claim to be moved by spirits.

Wat Phra Ngam is known as the "temple of magnificent Buddha images," a site where a number of significant historical artifacts were excavated. Finds included sandstone Buddha images, the Sema Dhama Chakra (a Buddhist Wheel of Virtue that marked the boundaries of the temple and sacred areas), statues of crouching deer, and both bronze and earthen Buddha images.

The temple was built during the reign of King Rama V, in the late 1800s. Many of the relics and artifacts excavated here are on display at the National Museum in Bangkok.

East and West meet here, where guests can enjoy the many Italian-style gardens in a uniquely Thai setting and relax after visiting some of the ancient sites of Nakhon Pathom.

This massive green space of 55 acres is home to beautiful floral displays, as well as a handicraft market, a mini floating market, and an outdoor food court offering Thai specialties and snacks. Things to do here include attending cultural shows and ceremonies, such as traditional Thai folk dancing and muay Thai displays. Elephant shows and rides are also offered here-something to keep in mind if you don't approve of elephants in captivity.

If you want to spend the night here and explore in the early morning, before the heat of the day rolls around, there's also a riverside hotel with its own restaurant on site.

This massive collection of vintage cars and motorcycles belongs to a Thai businessman who in 2007 decided to set up his own museum. More than 500 vehicles now occupy a large hangar in Nakhon Pathom in an eclectic exhibit that features many unusual and even quirky examples of everyday transportation.

There are only a few signs here and not much logical order-chronological or otherwise-to the parking of the vehicles. Instead, the collection is here to be admired, explored, and, often enough, obsessed over.

The museum has a significant number of three-wheel cars that look very similar to modern-day tuk-tuks (Thai motorcycle taxis) but were created by well-known brands such as Lambretta and Daihatsu.

Old American "muscle" cars do have their own dedicated section-and the collection includes beautiful elongated Checkers, 1950s sports cars, and even NYC yellow taxis. There's also a DeLorean (the famous "Back to the Future" car) and buses, a micro BMW Isetta and other cars with no side doors (instead, the entire front of the car opens up to allow access), tractors, and single-person helicopters here.

Located in front of the Lam Phaya temple, this floating market is less commercial than the ones you'll find in Bangkok. Rather than being an artificial set up to attract tourists, this is an authentic local market where people come to sell hand-made products, fruits, and even clothes. Many boat sellers also offer homemade food, including traditional dishes such as chicken Biryani and Thai vermicelli.

The floating market also includes a small museum set in a teak building. Here, visitors can see agriculture tools, pottery, and everyday life items that have shaped the life of the locals through the decades.

It's hard to describe Woodland Muangmai, an art village meets fantasy land where several legends and stories known as "Tales of the Wood" are told through hand-sculpted wood. The carvings here are actually all unrelated and come from a private collection encompassing carvings that go as far back as 200 years-but they have been arranged and divided into zones that together tell a story.

Visitors can enter the Abyss Room, the Buddha Room, the Dragon Cave room, and more-spaces where special effects, lights, and sound will guide them and explain the hundreds of carvings around.

One of those places you have to see to believe, Woodland Muangmai offers a wonderful insight into Southeast Asian wooden craftsmanship, and it's a very unique destination when you want to see something different.

At the top of the unique places to visit in the region is this stunning temple, dedicated to the worship of the God of Darkness, Phra Rahu. Thai legends describe Phra Rahu as a moody monster who regularly eats his brothers: the sun and the moon. As a result, he causes eclipses and often brings about disasters and financial harm. Visitors come here to bring offerings in the form of black coffee, black sticky rice, or black beans in the hopes of obtaining courage, wealth, and success, or erasing bad luck from their lives.

Wat Sisrathong is Thailand's most famous temple dedicated to Phra Rahu. A stunning gold and black statue of the god sits under a sala as you enter the temple grounds. Additional ornate buildings hold Buddha statues, including a golden Buddha head found on the grounds when excavating to build the temple.

Nakhon Pathom makes for a great day trip from Bangkok, so many visitors who travel here don't need to stay overnight. If you want to truly explore, take some photos, and perhaps visit more than just the main spots, booking a room for the night is a great idea.

Luxury Hotels:

• You won't find any luxury resorts in Nakhon Pathom, but this traditional area still has some nice options in the form of four-star hotels with great amenities. The Mida Grande Hotel Dhavaravati Nakhon Pathom tops the list, with a great location that puts you near all major tourist attractions in modern rooms with air-conditioning, a spa, and a fantastic pool.

Mid-Range Hotels:

• Nakhon Pathom has plenty of options in this category - many of them with lots of amenities you would normally only expect from higher-end accommodations. The Busaya Resort , for example, has free bikes that guests can borrow to tour the countryside, rooms with their own seating areas, a private garden, and a playground.
• The Hidden Holiday House inn , on the other hand, offers traditional Thai accommodations with a beautiful location on the river and simple but elegant rooms with bathtubs. Guided bike tours to the floating market are available.

Budget Hotels:

• Xen Hotel Nakhon Pathom is a favorite choice for travelers on a budget, as it sits right in the heart of town and within walking distance of everything you might need during your visit. Rooms are spacious and modern and come equipped with AC; there's also a restaurant on-site.

The Lived Experiences of Non-Thai Teachers in Code-Switching at Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University

• Delfin Cejudo [email protected] Language Institute, Nakhon Pathom Rajabhat University
• Dr. Jasson Compuesto College of Arts and Science, Holy Name University
• Maricar Vinalay Far Eastern University Roosevelt- Cainta Campus

This study investigates the lived experiences of non-Thai teachers' code-switching in delivering their English lessons in EFL classrooms. The study employed a qualitative approach, specifically phenomenology. The teachers were interviewed using semi-structured interview questions. The responses were transcribed and analyzed using Colaizzi’s seven-step descriptive phenomenological data analysis approach. The findings of this study showed that teachers’ experiences of code-switching were a helpful, practical, and essential tool to foster active participation from the students. The teachers’ reasons for utilizing code-switching are to relieve students’ anxiety and amplify socialization, word power, understanding of grammar, and instruction. Furthermore, the study also emphasizes that excessive use of code-switching can hinder the student’s learning of the target language.  Additionally, the teachers face a challenge when they code-switch due to the tone-sensitive nature of the Thai language. Thus, it is suggested that one must be at least conversational in the students' language to use code-switching effectively. It is concluded in this study that teachers should not cease using code-switching since it helps students grasp complex ideas and allows them to be engaged in the classroom.
