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.
