Tourist Spot In Thailand

by Pablo
(San Francisco)

When visiting Thailand I recommend maybe taking a look at the Erawan Shrine (Thao Maha Brahma Shrine), Bangkok. It is an interesting statue of four faced Brahma.

Apparently back in the day around 1955 when a hotel was being built, an expert in astrology told the builders that it was not the right moment to build the hotel.

The shrine itself is meant to bring good spirit.

Tourists and locals go and lay flowers around the shrine every day.

It’s free to see but if you want to purchase flowers it might be rather expensive.

While you are there you can even stay at the hotel where the shrine is located.

For those who don’t know Brahma is the creator of the universe and all living things.

He is also known to give good fortune to people.

Sadly two years ago the statue was destroyed.

Recently they have opened back up and have built an even more spectacular version of the statue.

I recommend anyone visiting Thailand to go take a look at this amazing site.
