Wat Bang Kung in Samut Songkhram
The Wat Bang Kung temple area served as an army stronghold of the Siamese after the ancient city of Ayuttahya was overrun by the Burmese in 1767. During this time, Burmese forces had blockaded the Mae Khlong river and the Siamese General Taksin managed to gather his army at the area of Wat Bang Kung.
Next to the temple, there are statues depicting scenes of fighting and Muay Thai. When the Burmese withdrew in 1768, Khai Bang Kung was forgotten and banyan trees have took over the temple.
