I want to introduce everyone to Phra Pathom Jedi as well as the history of Nakhon Prathom Province.
Nakhon Prathom is a small province located not far away from Bangkok and has a long history. There are any evidences that show it was the center of Tavaravadee Kingdom. It is famous for its landmark Phra Prathom Jedi which shows the trace of how Buddhism had come to Thailand. Also, the figure was the symbol of the province.
The tradition that I think every visitor must join is to parade cloth banner to the Phra Prathom Jedi.
The tradition has been around for hundreds of years. The people who join the tradition would connect their piece of cloth together and use it to wrap around the buddha image. Each year, there will be a grand celebration. There would be many local goods sold there like bamboo rice or pomelo. Thus, you should not miss the celebration as well as the tasty local food.
