Phra Pathom Chedi is the oldest
Buddhist monument in Thailand. It is located in a region where Buddhism was
first introduced here by Sona Thera and Uttra Thera in the fourth
Buddhist century. The present shape of Phra Pathom Chedi differs from
the original one which was that of an overturned bowl in the Indian stupa style.
