matt – this is SUCH a cool photo. i’d love to know more about it!
How did the Buddha head got swallowed by the roots? Good picture!
No idea but my guess is they had it up and they got the tree to grow around it.
That is so cool.
Totally agree with the above commentators. What a cool photo!
Unless there are more of those heads, I know where this is. I have a few photos of it myself. Of course, mine aren’t such nice close-ups…my zoom isn’t so good.
Best city in Thailand.
I think everyone that visits Ayutthaya takes this photo. The most famous bodyless Buddha in the world.
Banyan trees grow like weeds around abandoned temples in SE Asia and tend to engulf everything. This particular one is a particularly photogenic accident, but we also enjoyed feeling like Indiana Jones exploring the less tourist-ed temples of Angkor Wat.
what a picture…!
