Visiting Wat Bang Kung ~ Bang Kung Camp - Samut Songkhram - Thailand (Part 1/2).

In part 1, we'll sharing photos of Bang Kung Camp, located in the same area as the Wat Bang Kung (see more photos in part 2), on the opposite side and separated by a road. Upon arrival at the historic Thai Naval camp site, you will see a replica of the wall (along the Mae Khlong river) built to commemorate the battle. In year BE2310, King Taksin the Great invited the army to camp at Bang Kung district, called Bang Kung Camp, because Mae Khlong was the route the Burmese army used to march. King Taksin ordered built the wall encircled this temples to be the anchor of the spirit and worship of the military. The temple building dates from the Ayutthaya period and, aside from the golden buddha image it houses, is quite simple in design (see more photos in part 2). The remarkably majestic banyan trees are the crowning glory of the site, dominating the temple Ubosot and shading much of the landscape, a landscape that served as a battleground for Siamese and Burmese warriors in the 18th century. Today, the temple and nearby area of Bang Kung Camp is preserved as a memorial to those heroic warriors of the past.
