🇹🇭😍Wat Bang Kung Bangkok - Tree Temple❗️
#visitbangkok
Many tourists in Bangkok visit Wat Bang Kung! It is just 45mins away from the city center by car.
It is a must visit temple in Bangkok! It will help you find peace of mind and cherish the beauty of nature. When you take a walk through this ancient temple, you can actually experience a different world full of spiritualism and novelty.
Just after entering Wat Bang Kung, stands the iconic Sanctuary that is hidden under the branches and roots of trees. Inside, enshrined the famous golden Buddha Statue. It is not so unusual that in such a peaceful place, many Thais visit the place daily to worship the figure. Of course, if you have some time, make sure you don’t forget to gild the gold leaf on the statue for good luck like the locals do! It is also a good sign you’re paying respect to the Thai traditions and religions!

Unseen Thailand, Buddha image in tree
#dreamvoyage
If you never know about Unseen Thailand places, you should consider this temple “Wat Bang Kung”. An ancient war area long time ago. At that time, Burmese troop ran into Siam and robbed gold from many places, especially from Temple as Buddha Image was made by Gold. This temple was survived from that incident because a big tree has covered a whole temple and become a part of it.
Getting There - Car, private tour

Thailand One of the top ten Buddhist temples in Anpwa, 65 kilometers from Bangkok

It is located between the Dannen Sanda Floating Market and the American Railroad Market, and is close to the Amphawa Floating Market. If you have a day trip, you can take a look. The ancient temple is among the trunks of a large tree. It is said to have been built during the Great Wall Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. Although the appearance is simple, the incense is very prosperous. There are always believers who pray for gold foil on the Buddha. There is a folk artist performance next to it. The Buddhist Temple is free to visit and there is a parking lot at the entrance.

The Temple of the Tree, also known as Bang Kung Temple, is one of the top ten Buddhist temples in Thailand. Unlike the traditional Thai temples where the golden glory is repeated, this temple blends in with the natural environment. It is surrounded by a 400-year-old tree and has a history of 200 years. The temple is located in Anpwa, 65 kilometers away from Bangkok. The quaint mottled has few artificial axe marks. There is a big Buddha in the house surrounded by many trees. It is said to be very effective.

The temple in the tree wat bang kung, not far from the Meigong Railway, does not require tickets, but also takes off the shoes. The small temple was wrapped in a big banyan tree and is said to be very effective. From the left side of the Buddha statue, you can walk up the small stairs, and you can walk around the Buddha for a week. Here, you can also draw lots. The number corresponding to the number on the sign goes to the side to get the signature. There are instructions in Thai and English. No one charges here. You can donate your merits to the merit box. I have not seen this temple before in the travels. It is said to be one of Thailands top ten Buddhist temples. It is a 200-year-old tree-filled Buddhist temple surrounded by 400-year-old trees. It is surrounded by trees. A big Buddha, very effective, can be attached to the Buddha's body throughout the Buddha's body, each body part represents a different blessing, so you can paste according to individual needs.
This is probably the most visited Thai temple, and everyone lined up to give him gold foil. A small Buddha can be photographed from the small window next to it.
