One of the entrance to the Pathom Chedi was venerated a stone Buddha statue of Dvaravati style.
The statues were pasted by the gold foil.
The statue of King Chulalongkorn.
This Vihara is located at the same entrance of the Buddha statue of Dvaravati.
The Phra Pathom Chedi assumed that the former Chedi dates back to the year 539AD due to the fact that the upside down bell shaped Chedi has a similar style to the Sanchi Chedi in India which was built in the reign of King Asoka. The construction of the new huge Chedi was completed in the reign of King Rama V in 1870. In all, it took 17 years to build. The completed Chedi is a circular one that features an upside down bell shape Chedi (Lankan style). The height from ground to a top crown is some 120.45 metres, and a total diameter at the base is 233.50 metres. The sacred Chedi houses Lord Buddhas relics.
Some renovation works is in progress.
The replica of ancient Phra Pathom Chedi that underlying at present Pathom Chedi.
Old Chedi monument.
Caves into the base of the structure where one can go meditate and pray.
The thousand year old statues of Phra Buddha, Guan Yin, SangKachai and Phra Phrom were venerated inside the cave.

Within the Vihara, we can view the great significance Phra Pathom Chedi.
