Banyan Tree Temple
The Banyan Tree Temple is a small Buddhist temple that is slowly being overtaken by a banyan tree.

Taxi Ride to the Temple
On the way out of town to go visit an old temple, we stopped off at a petrol station for some fuel. There was a long line of motorbikes filling up with 2 stroke fuel.
