Say a prayer to Phra Phrom at Erawan Shrine (Thao Mahaprom Shrine), a small but popular Hindu shrine. Visitors who stop here often light incense, make an offering of fruit or flowers, and admire the traditional Thai dancers, paid for by supplicants hoping to have their prayers answered. At the heart of the shrine sits a golden statue of Phra Phrom, the four-faced Thai representation of the Hindu god of creation, Lord Brahma. It is a popular tourist destination and is generally safe, however, in 2015 a bomb went off near the shrine, killing 20 people.

First time visiting this religious shrine here in the middle of Bangkok,one of the busiest area.I was lucky there were not too many people. Came here on a Tuesday, approximately 5pm, October 2022. Went in and there is a booth selling offerings of different pricing ranging from 100B to 1000B. Got the 300B set and there are incense,candles and flowers which are sufficient for offerings to all 4 sides of the four faced buddha. Prayers are done in a clock wise manner starting from the side facing the main gate. Place 1 candle,1 set of flowers and 3 incense on each side after each prayer. (They don't allow lighting up of the incense now.) You may also engage their on-site prayer group for a fee. Definitely a good experience overall.

A very popular shire in Bangkok, Thailand. Near the central world, Pratunam area. Just walking straight down the central world and you will see the shire at the corner. A lot of people came to the shire and wish for something and granted a lot of wishes come true. But wish what you capable of, and once the wishes did come true, remember to come back to return the flavor and thanks for the wishes. For those who has no idea how is the prayer be done, there is people selling the flowers, candles for the prayer, you can ask them for how to pray. Overall it is a very sacred place shire in Bangkok

An interesting place to visit, especially if you like to see how religious traditions develop. Here you'll see a mix of Hindu, Buddhist, and animist beliefs. The photos and videos I have added are from about 2005, the dancers wear face shields now. Ceremony is important, but so is avoiding Covid...

A spiritual place to visit when coming to Bangkok. The four-faced god will grant your wishes. No fees charged. but offerings like flowers, incense, candles, you will have to buy it.

The Erawan Shrine is in front of the CentralWorld. There are so many worshipers praying and offering flowers. The rites they kneel down to worship the shrine are very special.
