Buddhamonthon

Phutthamonthon (also often called Buddha Monthon) is a Buddhist park in the Phutthamonthon district, Nakhon Pathom Province of Thailand, west of Bangkok. It is highlighted by a 15.87 m (52 ft) high Buddha statue, which is considered to be the highest free-standing Buddha statue of the world.

The park was created in 1957 (which was the year 2500 in the Thai Buddhist Era) on the basis of an idea of Thailand's prime minister, Phibunsongkhram. The park covers an area of about 400 hectares, which in traditional Thai units is 2500 rai. Construction started on July 29, 1955, and the park was inaugurated on the Vaisakh Bucha day (May 13) in 1957.

After a long pause construction on the park resumed in 1976; notably, the main Buddha statue was built after that time. Already designed in 1955 by art professor Silpa Bhirasri, the statue was cast in 1981.

The name Nakhon Pathom derives from the Pali Nagara Pathama, meaning First city, and is thus often referred as the oldest city of Thailand. There are archaeological remains that have been linked to the (pre-Thai) Dvaravati kingdom (perhaps dating to the 6th-11th century in the area).

Originally Nakhon Pathom Province contained a coastal city on the route between China and India, however due to the sedimentation of the Chao Phraya river the coast line moved away from the city. When the Tha Chin river changed its course, the city was removed from water and was deserted, the population moved to the new city of Nakhon Chaisi (or Sirichai). King Mongkut (Rama IV) patronized the restoration of Phra Pathom Chedi circa 1870. There is now a museum presenting the findings of several generations of archaeological work, from the 19th century forward.

Major movements of people into Nakhon Pathom province included emigration during and after the reign of King Buddha Loetla Nabhalai (Rama II) of Khmer villages (e.g., Don Yai Hom village) Lanna (Baan Nua) and Lao Song villages (e.g., Don Kanak village) as well as a major influx of Southern Chinese throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s. Currently Nakhon Pathom is attracting migration from other parts of Thailand, notably Bangkok and the Northeastern Thai and Burmese migrant workers. It's expansive borders include industrial zones, major university towns, government offices relocated from Bangkok and agricultural and transport hubs.
