"It's Powerful."
White tigers are a kind of tiger whose fur is white or almost white. This coloration is caused by a recessive gene. White tigers have been known to inhabit many parts of East Asia, including India and China. However, their current range has been much reduced due to excessive poaching.



Buddhists believe tigers have good power and Taoism sees tigers as evil. Through time, tigers became more closely linked to people's beliefs, the tiger was often symbolized as the guardian of the forest and protector against evil spirits.
"It's Formidable and Graceful!!."

Attractions Nakhon Pathom




Phra Pathom Chedi




Phra Pathom Chedi is the tallest stupa in the world with the height of 127 metres. It is located in the town of Nakhon Pathom in Thailand.



The name Phra Pathom Chedi means Holy chedi of the beginning. The stupa at the location is first mentioned in Buddhist scriptures of the year 675, however archaeological findings date back to the 4th century.


In the 11th century it was overbuilt with a Khmer (Ancient Cambodia) style prang, which was later overgrown by the jungle.



The ruin was visited several times by the later King Mongkut during his time as a monk, and after his coronation he ordered the building of a new and more magnificent chedi at the site. After 17 years of construction it was finished in 1870, and the population of nearby Nakhon Chai Si was ordered to move to the newly created town around the chedi.
