[Wat Samphran] “A pink tower wrapped around a dragon” An otherworldly temple that goes beyond your imagination.

About an hour and a half's drive from central Bangkok, Wat Samphran suddenly appears in Nakhon Pathom province, Thailand, with its striking visuals of a giant dragon wrapped around a pink cylinder. Just the exterior alone is enough to make you scream, "What is this!?" But what's even more surprising is that you can actually walk up inside the dragon! ⸻ 📍Location Wat Samphran (วัดสามพราน) Nakhon Pathom Province, Thailand (about 1.5 hours by car from Bangkok) *Grab, Bolt, or charter are convenient 🕰️Opening hours 8:00-17:00 / Open all year round 💸Admission fee Free (donations welcome) When climbing inside the dragon, please inform the monk at the entrance before entering ⸻ 🐉Highlights ・A huge dragon statue wrapped around a 17-story pink tower!・There is a spiral slope inside the dragon's body, so you can walk up to the top ・From the top of the tower, you can see a spectacular view of the surrounding rural areas ・There are also other Buddha statues scattered around the grounds, such as giant turtle statues and Kannon statues, which are worth seeing ⸻ 🌟This is the attraction! ・You can experience "architecture you will never forget once you see it" right in front of your eyes ・There are relatively few people, so it's a hidden gem where you can explore quietly and slowly ・It's sure to appeal to architecture lovers, those who like the extraordinary, and those who like photography ・It's a proper place of worship for locals.
