Pay homage to Luang Pho Nil Mani at Bang Kung Temple

Wat Bang Kung, an ancient temple from the Ayutthaya period, is located not far from Amphawa Floating Market, Samut Songkhram Province. The unseen feature of this temple is the "Bodhi Tree Church" inside the temple. Because there is a large Bodhi tree and tree roots covering the church, it looks sacred. Therefore, believers from all directions travel to Wat Bang Kung to pay homage and ask for blessings from "Luang Pho Nil Mani" or Luang Pho Dam, the Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture, which is enshrined in this church. In addition, Wat Bang Kung also has mural paintings telling the story of the life of the Buddha, which are old paintings from the late Ayutthaya period for us to see. There is also the Shrine of the Lady of the Wood, the Monument of King Taksin the Great, where we can ask for blessings. Those who are into superstitions must not miss it.
