Had a walk round very interesting giant banyan with plenty of fish and terrapins. Stalls selling a variety of tourist tat and some restaurants. We had a picnic on the sportsfield. Well maintained with supporting concrete designed to look like trunks.
Just try to imagine a banyan tree, only one, 350 years old, a little more than 3 200 m2 (35 000 square feet) under which you can walk at a cool temperature…. quite an incredible tree, with squirrels, dragons flies, a small temple….Really nice and quiet place. A few kilometers after the museum. Beware of your head, I still feel a little pain after I hit a low tree branch!
This place is wicked! It looks like it could be a perfect setting for the Lord of the Rings! Easily reachable from Phimai (a 15ish minute bike ride), this enormous banyan tree is said to be the largest in all Asia!! And it is 350 years old! It is a great place to have a stroll, sit and enjoy the quiet, eery atmosphere. We were lucky to be the only tourists inside the tunnels of branches that afternoon, with a handful of locals around. There are a couple of small stalls on the other side of the lake where you can buy food. They also sell different types of fish, as well as frogs and turtles, to be released into the water.
The tree supported by spreading roots / branches provide a canopy over 3500 sq m of an island near phimai historical park Not really a mist do but. A quiet place to rest perhaps after the nearby temple Lots of local food stalls service an amazing variety of thai food helped by menus in English
Sai Ngam (ไทรงาม in Thai) is a giant centuries-old banyan tree. The branches of the tree form a roof, and you can walk under the tree on a walkway of several hundred meters. There a benches and spirit houses along the way. Some might find the place very romantic, others might think it is quite spooky. However, it is worth visiting when you are in Phimai. It is located a few kilometers East of the city center, and you reach it best by bicycle or car. There is no entrance fee. Although we visited the place in the afternoon during high season, it was not busy at all. Near the entrance there are food stalls where you can get local food.
This is a good place to visit after the Phimai Historical Park. Depending on the time of the day and lighting, it will either look haunted or magical. Do bring some mosquito repellent.
Interesting place to walk around, where there is a large banyon tree, one of the largest in Thailand so they say, situated in a park and surrounded by the lake.There are some spas and hot springs nearby but I think you have to pay to enter them, we just walked around the trees and upto the lake, where we bought some fish to release and also the kids got some bread to feed the bigger fish. Was fierce hot so we kind of just stayed close to the trees. If you double it up with the Phimai Historical Park nearby then its worth a look, otherwise on its own I don’t think its much of an attraction.
We stopped off here between Phimai and Buriram. It is an unusual small forest made of tangled roots. It is interesting and we took nice photos here.

The Sai Ngam banyan tree Grove is another place you must visit while in Phimai. It is the largest tree you will ever see.
