Khao Banchop Temple and the 100-year-old Big Tree Gate

#Songkran2024Travel Hello friends of #trip. For those who don't have a place to travel this Songkran or those who want to make merit in a peaceful way with nature, biologirl would like to recommend this place. 🙏🏻 Wat Khao Banchop, Ban Thung Ple, Makham District, Chanthaburi Province 🫧Located in Khao Soi Dao National Park, which meets the Khitchakut mountain range, the atmosphere around the temple is quiet and surrounded by old trees. ✨But the highlight here is 🌈 The Truth Gate, which is a hole in the tree from the Somphong tree, which is 300-500 years old, about 10 meters high, with a circumference of about 10 people. The villagers have drilled a small hole in the Somphong tree to use as an entrance and exit for monks who go out to collect alms and people who go to the temple. Which is still there now and the tree is still strong and growing. The villagers often call this hole the gate of heaven. 🌈☁️ 🌁 There is also a bridge connecting to the park side. The temple named it the bridge across the Okha Songsorn. Under the bridge is a beautiful waterfall view. You can come to relax. Or you can have a picnic and eat. 🚗 There is convenient parking. 🥤 There is a free hot coffee service point.
