Originally the stupa named Phra Thom Chedi means the big stupa in ancient Khmer language or the royal stupa in Northern Thai language. One of the common misunderstandings about the stupa is Phra Pathommachedi is the oldest and the first stupa in Suvarnabhumi, an ancient name of Southeast Asia. Modern Historians believe that the stupa was one of the principal stupas of ancient Nakhon Pathom, the largest settlement of Dvaravati culture in Nakhon Pathom area together with the nearby Phra Pathonnachedi during the 6th to the 8th centuries

This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of Phra Pathommachedi, the tallest stupa in the world. Standing at an impressive height of 120.5 meters (395 ft), this iconic structure is located within the Wat Phra Pathommachedi Ratcha Wora Maha Wihan temple in Nakhon Pathom, Thailand. Phra Pathommachedi, meaning "the first holy stupa" holds great historical and cultural significance. Originally named Phra Thom Chedi or the big stupa, it was a prominent feature during ancient times when Nakhon Pathom was a thriving center of Dvaravati culture from the 6th to 8th centuries. Contrary to popular belief, this magnificent stupa is not considered as the oldest or first one in Suvarnabhumi (ancient Southeast Asia). However, its grandeur and architectural brilliance continue to captivate visitors from around the world. The print by Peerakit Jirachetthakun showcases every intricate detail of this remarkable structure. From its ornate design to its towering presence against a clear blue sky, it evokes a sense of awe and reverence for Thai heritage. Whether displayed in homes or galleries, this image serves as a reminder of Thailand's rich history and spiritual traditions. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the splendor and serenity that emanates from Phra Pathommachedi – truly an extraordinary masterpiece standing tall amidst time.
