Description from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seals_of_The_Provinces_of_Thailand:
The
seal of the province shows the Phra Pathom Chedi stupa, at 127 m, the highest
pagoda of the world. Located at the city center, it has been an important
Buddhist center since the 6th century. The current building was created by king
Mongkut in 1860. On the pagoda a royal crown is depicted, the symbol for King
Mongkut's reconstruction.
