Embark on a journey past the vibrant tapestry of Bangkok’s Chinese Deity Shrines that line the streets 🙏🏻⛩

From the Sun Wukong Shrine (20-min from the hotel) at the end of Rama 4 road to the Kwang Tung Shrine, Leng Buai Ia Shrine, and the serene Kuan Yim Shrine further up Charoen Krung Road, each one is a radiant burst of color, shrouded in the billowing smoke of incense. You can’t miss Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, the largest Chinese temple in Bangkok.

Offering tables brimming with gifts and prayers ready to be purchased, these shrines are a testament to the rich tapestry of faith and culture in the heart of the city.
