Positives:

  • Free entry and shows: No admission fee and dance performances are free to watch.
  • Easy mall access: Connected skywalks lead directly to CentralWorld and Siam Paragon baby facilities.

Challenges:

  • Crowded sidewalks: Busy intersection with narrow walkways makes stroller use difficult.
  • No on-site baby rooms: Shrine has no nursing or changing facilities; rely on nearby malls.

Curious place since I didn’t expect to see a really sacred spot for local people with such noise from the street! A lot of people, a lot of flowers. People come there to share their wishes.

The Four-Faced Buddha likes to watch how people dance so you ca...

The Erawan Shrine, known as Bangkok’s most powerful spiritual spot, was already visited by many worshippers early in the morning. While it is often seen as a place to focus on wish fulfillment, it is a precious shrine in Bangkok that reminds you to live each day with gratitude. Admission is free, but if you wish to pray, you need to purchase an offering set.

To be successful, receive luck, and receive your wishes as you wis...
