Wat Pho Bang Khla

Wat Pho Bang Khla is a very historically significant ancient site. It was built during the late Ayutthaya period, making it over 200 years old. Inside the temple is a beautiful reclining Buddha image that is revered by the locals. However, what makes this temple famous worldwide is that it is home to tens of thousands of fruit bats that cling to the trees around the temple in an amazing sight. They do not harm anyone and are ready for tourists to come and observe their natural way of life up close. Visiting this temple is a trip that is both fulfilling from paying homage to the Buddha and admiring the ancient temple, and satisfying with the rare natural phenomenon. It is a valuable check-in point in terms of religion, history, and ecotourism.
