About Bamboo Arch
The Bamboo Arch is a natural tunnel formed by tall bamboo trees arching over a paved road leading to Wat Chulabhorn Wanaram in Ban Phrao, Ban Na District, Nakhon Nayok. The dense bamboo creates a shaded, green corridor about several hundred meters long. It is a well-known photo spot and landmark for visitors traveling to the temple and nearby nature attractions in Nakhon Nayok Province.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a shaded, straight road enclosed on both sides and overhead by dense, tall bamboo forming a natural arch. The tunnel is open to vehicles and pedestrians, with dappled light filtering through the leaves. The setting is quiet and green, suitable for walking, driving slowly through, and photography. The arch leads directly to Wat Chulabhorn Wanaram, with temple grounds, parking and small local stalls nearby.
