About Travel to Pathumthani
Pathumthani is a province located just to the north of Bangkok. The southern border of Pathumthani is not far from the northern perimeter of Don Mueang Airport.
Long History
Pathumthani has been settled for a long period. The first significant village was established in 1659 when a large group of Mon people from Burma were given permission by the King of Ayutthaya to settle in the area. Further royal patronage saw the village develop into a town and then expand into a province in its own right.

Several Major Tourist Attractions
Most of the visitors who come to Pathumthani are Thai people visiting the province’s large shopping zone at Rangsit Future Park, or Dream World, a Disney style amusement park, or one of the province’s two major museums, the National Science Museum and the National Geological Museum. The massive Dhammakaya Temple also attracts large number of visitors. Pathumthani does, however, offer more low key attractions that might appeal more to adventurous foreign visitors.
Rural Pathumthani
Away from Rangsit, Pathumthani is largely rural with large open fields where good quality fruit and vegetables are grown and bird life in particular flourishes.
Riverside Temples
Pathumthani also has a series of very old temples located on the banks of the Chao Phraya River, such as Wat Hong Pathummawat and Wat Chedi Thong, which are worth visiting. If you have your own transport then spending a day travelling along the river visiting these temples would be an interesting possibility.
Khlong Rahaeng Old Market
For vintage shopping, and old style food, then a trip to Khlong Rahaeng Old Market is recommended. Khlong Rahaeng Old Market is a long running canalside market located within historic wooden buildings.
