Sai Ngam

An other-worldly experience

What we say:

For an other-worldly experience, head to Sai Ngam, beautiful Banyan. The largest Banyan grouping in all of Thailand, the mass of intertwined branches and trunks creates an atmosphere straight out of a Tim Burton movie. Earn merit by purchasing one of the many captive animals and setting them free and as several palm readers have set up camp in the leafy shade be sure to check out what the future holds. Light filters through at irregular intervals casting eerie shadows that only enhance the experience.

If you're hungry, more than ten makeshift restaurants line the border of this magical spot and serve standard Thai fare. It's a 15 minute walk from the centre of Phimai. Take the main road east and follow the signs. Alternatively, you can hire a samlor for about 30 B or rent a bicycle.
