SEMINAR ON LIS EDUCATION:
COLLABORATION AMONG ASEAN COUNTRIES
From page 1
The participants were taken on a study
visit to Pra Nakorn Province, some 56 km
from Bangkok. We visited three places of
interest:
Pra Pathom Chedi-the biggest pagoda in
Thailand and is the first Buddist religion
landmark. It is the tallest in the world with
a height of 127m and a diameter of
233m.
Then we proceeded to Silpakhorn
University and visited the Central Library.
We were welcomed by the University
Librarian. We toured the Thai Western
Regional Information Centre, Mom Luang
Pin Malakul Memorial Room and the
Silpakorn University Archives.
Our final stop was at the Sanam
Chandra Palace built by King Rama
VI in 1907 with a French and English
style, on a 335 acres site consisting
of five main buildings and a shrine. It
is now a museum.
