    Please be careful where you're holding your incense sticks towards, and try not to drop the ash on others (it'll hurt). Do wear sunglasses on windy days, don't let the smoke get into your eyes!

    The Erawan Shrine in Bangkok or 'Saan Phra Phrom' may be small, but is known for its big, free traditional dance performances often seen here. Locals stop on the way to pray or give thanks for favors.

    They usually have live performances and it is a very active shrine. Not huge but very respected by the locals. Def check it out if you are near by

    The Holy Atmosphere in here so strong, see many people come for blessing. Even Good or Bad Guy, we are same, until we can find Nibbana (free from attachment).

    It often features performances by resident Thai dance troupes, who are hired by worshippers in return for seeing their prayers at the shrine answered.
