点评:This massive naga monument is situated alongside the Mekong at the southern end of the main business and tourism precinct, right at the head of the main T-junction of the city. It makes quite an impression as you approach, either by vehicle from Nittayo Road, or on foot from walking street and the riverside restaurants further north.
This seven-headed snake is 10.9 meters high and faces outward, symbolically protecting the city and the temples behind it from storms and other calamities. There is a procession of visitors making offerings (and taking selfies) and the surrounding pathways and gardens are well-manicured and accentuate the scale of the statue.
This whole complex was built in 2016 and really gives the city a recognizable identity; of all the Thai cities lining the Mekong, Nakhon Phanom is the most memorable.
Note: if you're on a riverside stroll from Walking Street, this is a good turning around point. There isn't a lot further south.
翻译:这座巨大的纳迦纪念碑坐落在湄公河畔,位于主要商业和旅游区的南端,就在城市主要T型路口的尽头。无论您是从尼塔约路(Nittayo Road)驾车而来,还是从步行街和更北边的河畔餐厅步行而来,它都会给您留下深刻的印象。
这条七头蛇高10.9米,面朝外,象征着守护这座城市及其背后的寺庙免受风暴和其他灾害的侵袭。游客们络绎不绝地前来供奉(并自拍合影),周围的小径和花园修剪整齐,更突显了雕像的宏伟气势。
整个建筑群建于2016年,赋予了这座城市独特的身份;在湄公河沿岸的所有泰国城市中,那空拍侬(Nakhon Phanom)是最令人难忘的。
注意:如果您从步行街沿着河畔漫步,这里是一个不错的转折点。再往南走就没什么地方了。
