Nakhon Pathom

Nakhon Pathom reviews

Backchat from the Travelfish community

• Boring. See the Palace.

  If you HAVE to go to Nakhon Pathom then you might as well make the most of it. If you don't... then well... maybe leave it be. Nakhon Pathom isn't the most interesting city, however it is a good launching pad for travel in the west of Thailand.
  
  The Chedi is beautiful but as of Feb 2010 was going under major construction so the main sight (the chedi) is hidden under scaffolding. Still beautiful, but don't expect too much.
  
  The Sanam Chandra Palace is really the only thing worth seeing in Nakhom Pathom and it is absolutely spectacular, moderate dress codes apply here, but they will lend you sarongs/t-shirts.
  
  If you have to stay here see the palace and then roll.

  This gives your review a bit of context - especially if you were last in Chiang Mai in 1932.
