Miracle 1 - Route 1
This temple is located nearby the Bang Pakong River. The edification of the old Wat Pho Bang Khla temple was formerly called Wat Pho and is believed to have been built dated to the time during the reign of King Taksin the Great after the fall of Ayutthaya fell on 7 April 1767, when he and his army moved to Chantaburi and rested in Bang Khla. Inside of the temple you will see the sleeping buddha statue and murals.
Around the temple you will find a special natural special feature. There are around hundred thousands of the Large Flying Foxes (Pteropus vampyrus) are living in the trees around the temple since 1930. It's a southeast Asian species of megabat with a wolf-like face, reddish-brown fur and a nearly 1-meter wingspan. At dusk, the bats swoop out of the trees to feed, dining on fruit and the young leaves of nearby Bodhi trees, mango trees and tamarind trees, and come back at dawn. Amazing!
