The bang tree holds a special place in the prison’s history. During tours, visitors are told stories of how the tree was a “medicine” and a “friend” to the prisoners. Its leaves were used as a cure for illnesses, and its branches were made into writing utensils. These stories have left a deep impression on those who hear them.
On special night tours of the prison, visitors are treated to bang tree-themed delicacies, such as bang tea, bang cake, and bang jelly. These unique treats add an extra layer of interest and excitement to the tour experience.
