Young Thai Children visiting Pra Prathom Chedi 30 years ago
Looking back at the past with the help of old photographs is a memorable thing to do. There are many photographs that were taken when we were young, and we do not remember all the details of how, when and where they were taken. Here are some photographs that many Thai children had taken when they visited Pra Pathom Chedi 30 years ago. Although that photo service is not there nowadays, because of photo shops, some children can still do as their dad had done thirty years ago!
Recommendation for the best time to visit
There is a Pra Pathom Chedi festival during the month of November, when there are many products to sell, parades and many Buddhist monks gathering to chant and visit.
