Sam Phan Bok

Reviewed By DickZe - Bangkok, Thailand

What you are looking at is actually the river bed of Mae Khong river, which fills in the month September. When the river withdraws the rock structures (Sam Phan bok = 3000 holes) become visible that have been formed already 110.000.000 years ago. It is a fascinating landscape and of course people see all sorts of significance in the shapes, meaning a Mickey Mouse hole, a heart, the number 800, the Grand Canyon etc. See what you want to see and enjoy he unusual shapes. There is no entrance fee. Although it is walkable I would recommend taking a pick-up (200 baht for the whole car) and we were joined by a sweet 7-year old (!) guide who gave a very good explanation, albeit only in Thai. You can tip whatever you like, we gave 100 baht which was probably over-generous, but it is lovely to see this young enterprise.

I have ever been there both at daytime and nighttime. To get photos at daytime you will get the original colors of the Wat(temple) and at nighttime, you will get the more fantastic lights for photos

Wat Ban Na Muang

Reviewed By E6422ABsamm

Terrific temple! My first visit was part of a school group led by other teachers. Little did I know what a marvellous site this was as I guided the students onto the bus. We were awe-struck firstly by the elephants (you'll see what I mean) and then by the suspended boat temple and tower. Selfies and photos galore as we did a few laps. The other boat temple is a ripper...perched neatly on the water with a bush backdrop to match! Our group also ventured inside the large hall next to the front boat near the entrance. Stunning paintings and décor surrounding the central golden Buddha statue. Truly a hidden gem of a place!
