“The museum initiated by the Association of the Football History of Thailand had a large number of members, those interested in football, academics, former national footballers of Thailand – old and new, and their descendents, together donated on this occasion their possessions relating to the history of Thai football.

It was their wish that the Association would have the things kept properly in a museum since the football sport had been closely related to King Rama VI. In 2002 the committee therefore asked for the permission to use some land in Sanam Chan Palace as a display area.  But it was not until 2007 when the Palace celebrated its first centennial that the museum was finally opened officially.” (1)

“Phra Pathommachedi or Phra Pathom Chedi (Thai: พระปฐมเจดีย์) is a stupa in Thailand. At 120.5 metres (395 ft) it is the tallest stupa in the world

The name Phra Pathommachedi means the first holy stupa, given by Mongkut. 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 (Thai: พระประโทณเจดีย์) during the 6th to the 8th centuries.” (1)
