Visited Bang Peng Tai Temple In Bangkok : Thailand (Nov’20)
29th November 2020 / I Visited Bang Peng Tai Temple. It’s located in Ramkhamhaeng soi 187, Min Buri, Bangkok 10510, Thailand.
Bang Peng Tai Temple
Canalside sister temple to Wat Bam Phen Nuea, with a nearby floating market on weekends.
Arriving via a small canal boat along Saen Saep Canal, Ajay was greeted by the temple’s graceful silhouette against the water. The calm atmosphere was a welcome contrast to the bustle of central Bangkok.
Visitors on TripAdvisor echo this sentiment, calling the temple “absolutely beautiful” and “very serene” on their visits
