Phra Pathom Chedi (Phra Pathommachedi) | The world's tallest stupa

Phra Pathom Chedi is located in Nakhon Pathom, 80 kilometers west of Bangkok, Thailand. The legend told by the teacher when Li Weijie's daughter visited Phra Pathom Chedi in "Sheep Without a Shepherd": "After a king killed two important people to him, he regretted it. A monk told him that to atone for his sins, he had to build a tall tower that a pigeon could not fly to the top. Only then can he be redeemed." So there is this tallest Phra Pathom Chedi and the constant voice of repentance. Phra Pathom Chedi is called "Phra Pathom Jedi" in Thai, which means "the first stupa". And "Phra Pathom" in Pali means "the first city". This Phra Pathom Chedi is indeed the tallest stupa in the world today. It is about 130 meters high and the diameter of the tower base is about 57 meters. The foundation of the stupa contains the relics of the Buddha and the ashes of Rama VI. There is also a museum in the courtyard, displaying various Buddhist artifacts. This is the earliest place of Buddhism in Thailand. The predecessor of the stupa was not so majestic.
