Momo Hui ShanJanuary 22, 2015Please 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!

Tawan VorathamDecember 4, 2018The 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.
Dave ZinFebruary 8, 2017They 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

$oon Lee ™December 27, 2014Buy joss sticks+candle+flowers from 25thb inside the shrine compound. Never buy from outside otherwise u hv to pay thru ur nose. Start praying from main entrance, clockwise.
Sarip TjandraNovember 20, 2014The 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).
Robert P.March 18, 2013It often features performances by resident Thai dance troupes, who are hired by worshippers in return for seeing their prayers at the shrine answered.
- Buy a dance or flower here. Follow the tradition and go around the Ewaran clockwise!
Adrian ChinMarch 29, 2019If your here to have a simple prayer just walk in to the temple to purchase the flowers and insentstick. Buying it put side is expensive.
MIKR TatJuly 4, 2013This is a place to pay your respect and worship . If you cannot do that please don't come in. If you want to take photos please take it at the right time . Is not a place for you to social or photos .

Jamie CamplinSeptember 19, 2013If you haggle in Thai language you can pay a reasonable price for flowers
The Residence is the place for events. At the AUT alumni and friends in Thailand.
Rie TanJanuary 15, 2017Never ever buy the offerings from the outside . Dont even stop if they asked you to , they will never let you go easily unless you buy from them and the price are double-triple!
嘉荣 彭March 30, 2013ALWAYS BUY FLOWERS FROM INSIDE. Just got scammed again by the flower sellers outside. Again and again. Never learnt my lesson. :(
A place for reflection in the heart of all that traffic
Praewpailin NutawongFebruary 1, 2012The price for flower set starts from 20 THB per person from the official shop inside.
