Chula Pathon Chedi

Chula Pathon Chedi is an ancient brick Buddhist stupa located about 2 kilometers west of Phra Pathom Chedi in Mueang Nakhon Pathom District, Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand. Dating to the Dvaravati period around the 7th to 8th century, it is considered one of the oldest Buddhist monuments in the country. The ruined chedi exhibits Dvaravati architectural style with a square base and excavated stucco decorations, now preserved as an archaeological park managed by the Fine Arts Department.

Visitors can expect a quiet, open archaeological park centered on the ruined brick base of a Dvaravati-period chedi. The structure shows a square plan with stairways on four sides and remnants of stucco decoration. The site is grassy and exposed with information signs explaining the history and excavation. There is no active temple building, but the remains illustrate early Buddhist architecture. The area is peaceful, suitable for short walks, photography and viewing the ancient brickwork close up.
