Description: |
|
Bang Kung Camp was once a navy campsite during the reign of King
Taksin the Great. Following the second defeat of the Ayutthaya
kingdom in 1767, the king relocated his navy to this campsite. A
wall was built, making a temple, Wat Bang Kung, not only the
spiritual center of the camp but also the physical center. As
King Taksin the Great later ordered Chinese soldiers from
various provicnces to guard the camp, the camp came to be known
as Bang Kung Chinese Camp. A year later, Ayutthaya was
successfully reclaimed, and the campsite was left deserted for
almost 200 years before the Ministry of Education built a shrine
to memorialize King Taksin the Great’s achievements.
Within the camp compound, there is an ordination hall built in
the Ayutthaya period and now covered with lush ficus. Upon
arriving at the compound, visitors will also see a replica wall
built to celebrate King Taksin the Great’s battle with invading
forces. |
