Detalles del programa

Bangkok is one of the most visited cities in Southeast Asia. This city is known for its vibrant and buzzing atmosphere and ability to harmoniously integrate both old and new. If you’ve already visited the pagodas and temples, and have already gone around the shopping centers and markets, another thing you can do is understand the city through its faith and religion.



This short Bangkok Worship and Walking Tour will have you experience shrine visits and offerings with a friendly TripGuru at your side to explain the significance and importance of these visits to the locals’ lives.



We’ll meet up outside the BTS Chit Lom Station. From there, we’ll walk to the Erawan Shrine. This shrine houses the statue of Phra Phrom, (the Thai representation of Brahma) the Hindu god of creation. The statue has four faces, each symbolizing the four directions of north, south, east, and west. Locals flock here to pay homage to this deity as it is said that he can get rid of difficult obstacles and bestow fortune and success upon individuals.



After making an offering at Erawan Shrine, we’ll head to Lakshmi Shrine, hidden away in a corner of the fourth-floor outdoor terrace at Gaysorn Village shopping mall. This small shrine features a small golden statue wrapped in a delicate pink robe. The Hindu goddess Lakshmi is said to be the goddess of business, wealth, and good fortune. You’ll find many entrepreneurial-minded visitors making offerings to the deity, praying for their business success.



Our last stop of the tour is the Trimurti Shrine. Situated near a busy intersection, at the corner of Central World Plaza, this shrine may look quotidian at first glance. However, the numerous visits from locals who regularly make offerings to the Hindu god say otherwise. The Trimurti Shrine is said to be comprised of three powerful Hindu gods – Brahma the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Shiva the destroyer. Combined, they become the lord Trimurti, the god of love and unity. This is commonly visited by romantics who offer prayers for their soulmates.
