Temple Embraced by Nature

This highly unusual temple near the Floating Market is an ideal way to round off your trip. It's not the largest or grandest, but its strange positioning within the clutches of a banyan tree makes it a local favourite. There's something compelling about how the tree's roots snake around the entrance and cover its simple frame- miniature statues on the exterior are surrounded by vines and shoots. Inside, it's far more conventional with a simple golden Buddha statue where locals still come to pay their respects. This is the perfect stop for those longing to see a temple that's a bit more off the beaten path and is still fully functioning.
