Phra Pathom Chedi
The towering chedi is probably one of Thailand's most well-known Buddhist monuments. Standing at a height of 235.5m, it is assumed to be the largest Buddhist monument in the world. The construction of the massive pagoda began in the time of King Mongkut, who added the massive dome over the remains of an earlier site. The original shrine was a Mon shrine dating back to the 4th century. In the early 11th century the shrine was covered with a Brahman sanctuary by the conquering Khmers. The shrine was then destroyed by the Burmese invasion of 1057.
The massive pagoda was finished in 1870, during the reign of King Chulalongkorn, after taking 17 years to complete. The northern viharn at the main entrance to monastery houses a large standing Buddha, Phra Ruang Rojanarit, a restored image that was found by King Rama VI at Si Satchanalai. The base of the image holds the ashes of the king.
Sanaam Chan Palace
This palace dates back to 1907 and was built for King VI when he was still the Crown Prince. The palace was built over the remains of older royal residencies, at a site called Noen Prasat. The palace' buildings are built in a mock-Tudor style and are set in a spacious park surrounded by a canal. The King added names to the buildings from characters in the play, My Friend Jarlet, by A. Golsworthy and E.B. Norman.
Thai Human Imagery Museum
The museum contains life-like models of historical figures from Thailand. There are fibreglass models of the former kings of the Chakri dynasty, along with figures of highly revered monks from all over the nation. Also included is the famous poet, Sunthorn Phu, along with characters from his famous writings, Phra Apaymanee.
