#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 📣 Drive, Take a Break When Tired with mind_madge | Unseen Thailand Must-Visit! Wat Bang Kung, Samut Songkhram Province Hello everyone! Today, "Drive, Take a Break When Tired" with mind_madge takes you, fellow religious enthusiasts, travelers, and spiritualists, to check in at the oldest, most unseen temple near Bangkok, Wat Bang Kung, Samut Songkhram Province! This place is not only beautiful, but also steeped in rich history dating back to the reign of King Taksin the Great. The Miraculous "Bodhi Tree Church" Unseen Thailand The highlight that makes Wat Bang Kung famous nationwide is the "Bodhi Tree Church," or "Church in a Tree," the only one in Thailand, over 200 years old! It's an astonishing sight, with the roots of four large trees: a Bodhi tree, a Banyan tree, a Krai tree, and a Krang tree, firmly enclosing the old church walls, as if they were guardians, protecting the church from collapse over time. This church is truly a rare example of natural architecture. Just standing there and looking at it, you can feel the magic, faith, and wonder of nature that supports this religious site! It's a beautiful and energetic photo spot. Worship "Luang Pho Nil Mani" (Luang Pho Bot Noi) As you walk through the archway into the Bodhi Tree Church, you'll encounter the church's sacred Buddha image: "Luang Pho Nil Mani," or as the locals call it, "Luang Pho Bot Noi." This large Ayutthaya-era Buddha image, in the Mara-Vijaya posture, is enshrined within the church. Luang Pho Nil Mani is renowned for its sacredness. Believers in the superstition tradition shouldn't miss a visit to pray here, as many people have found success and achieved their wishes, whether for good fortune, career, or health. Try praying with devotion. (There's a secret: offering flowers, incense, and candles and gilding the image of Luang Pho will bring good fortune.) Remembering the History of "Bang Kung Camp" Besides the Bodhi Tree Church, the Bang Kung Temple area was once home to a temple. "Bang Kung Camp," a former important historical stronghold during the national liberation period during the reign of King Taksin the Great, is also a place to pay respects at the King Taksin the Great Monument, commemorating his heroic deeds. We can also visit the statue of a Thai boxer, representing the martial art of that era, which was taught to defend the camp. Drive along, take a break, and recharge! A trip to Bang Kung Temple not only offers visitors the unseen beauty of the temple, but also the tranquil atmosphere of the Mae Klong River and the spiritual power of the faith gathered here. Getting there is easy! The temple is located in Bang Khonthi District, Samut Songkhram Province, not far from Amphawa Floating Market. If you're planning a trip to Samut Songkhram, don't miss this place! Don't forget to allow extra time for travel and queueing to pay respects to Luang Pho Nil Mani, as it's incredibly popular.
