We took a trip to Kanchanaburi and one of our places to visit wasเมืองบาดาล วัดใต้น้ำ and is recognised as part of Unseen Thailand. In the pouring rain this building was in the middle of rising water - it looked liked it peaked out of nowhere!
We stepped out of the boat into low water. Immediately it was clear that this was certainly a special site - there were people selling animals to be released and other article for worship inside เมืองบาดาล วัดใต้น้ำ.
We walked in to the building past the place of respect outside
and into the one inside.
After paying respects inside we came out the other end.
We walked around the outside.
The water had begun to subside at the front and the bell was now uncovered.
Mon Bridge สะพานไม้อุตตมานุสรณ์ is quite a spectacular bridge stretching across the river - I understand that it is the longest wooden bridge in Thailand?
There was also a smaller floating wooden bridge - the original one collapsed in 2013 so they constructed the floating one.
Early in the morning there were children selling flowers to you for the monks that would arrive soon - quite lovely actually.
Later that day there were children jumping off the bridge - great fun.
This was where we took a boat to explore the local area.
