Founded
during the Ayutthaya era over three centuries ago, Pathum
Thani is home to Wat Hong Pathummawat, with its fish sanctuary,
and other old temples like Wat Sing, the first monastery
built by the Mon community with a museum of Mon artifacts. |

Up
the Chao Phraya River, Wat Pailom is one of the world's
largest sanctuaries for indian open-billed storks, which
winter here during the mating season. |

The
agricultural basin of the central plains channels its
vast produce to the equally as large Talad Thai, a gigantic
international wholesale and retail produce market, selling
fruit, vegetables, cut flowers and plants. |
