When arranging a one-day trip to Bangkok’s suburbs, most of them are the Shuzhong Temple, Maeklong Railway Market, and Amphawa Floating Market. Or take the market route and change the Shuzhong Temple to the Tanneng Shaduo Floating Market. When preparing for the itinerary Considering that I need to take seven members with me, and I am afraid that I will not be able to catch the time to return to Bangkok from Amphawa Floating Market, I immediately ask for help from the chartered car service of Bangkok Help, which relieved me for the first time to lead the group, so I connected the itinerary attractions Time is more convenient, and we can rest assured that we can take a good rest when traveling to and from the scenic spots.
Considering the fun of these attractions, I only arranged Maeklong Railway Market and Amphawa Floating Market for half a day, but the last thing I couldn’t grasp was the train entry time of the railway market. When we arrived, the driver brother was very enthusiastic to help. We asked the station master about the time to enter the station, but the train was very late for 40 minutes. Although the driver's eldest brother can't speak English and we can't speak Thai, after comparing our hands, we knew that he was going to take us to the Shuzhong Temple first. It only takes about 20 minutes for the visit to return to the railway market. In order to let us make good use of the time, I am still very grateful to the driver for his enthusiastic service.
When we arrived at the tree temple, the incense was quite prosperous, and the scope of this tree temple is quite large, not only this temple surrounded by linden trees (in Thai called วัด บาง กุ้ง; Wat Bang Kung), there is also The King of Medicine and Nana are enshrined. On the right is the statue of the Black King and the Muay Thai Park.The tree in the temple enshrines the Buddha. It is one of the top ten spiritual temples in Thailand. It is said that the Battle of Siam in 1765~1767 A.D. and Burma ended the Thai Ayutthaya dynasty. At that time, Zheng Xin, a general, came here to pray and wish not only to send the Burmese army back to his hometown. Also established a new dynasty-Thonburi dynasty.
The temple is completely surrounded by bodhi trees. There are various small Buddha statues in front of them, sitting, lying, or standing in different postures, and each small Buddha statue has an iron bowl in front of it. The believers have changed them in order. After the change, the change was scattered one by one inside, and the change fell into the iron bowl with a loud sound, as if to respond to the prayers of the believers.You need to take off your shoes before entering the tree in the temple. Then you will see a Buddha statue with gold foil. After worshiping in front of the Buddha statue, you will walk around the Buddha statue and put your hands on the gold foil to complete the offering.
