Wat Bangkae Noi ~ The Teak Temple

There are many temples of sublime beauty & historical significance in the Ampawa district of Samut Songkram province, but one of the most interesting is Wat Bangkae Noi.

Looking from the outside, you will think this place is nothing special. It looks the same as every other Buddhist temple that you've seen.

Once you enter this temple however, you'll be amazed at the breathtaking view, because the interior teakwood walls and ceiling of the main chapel have been intricately carved to depict the life and teachings of the Lord Buddha.

Even the floor of this temple is special, being made from one hopea tree which is the most expensive of its kind in Thailand.

Your can visit the Teak Temple at Wat Bangkae Noi by taking the tour of Ampawa with Bangkok Day Tours.
