Samut Sakhon City Pillar Shrine

Come visit the Samut Sakhon City Pillar Shrine🙇🏻♀️ The Samut Sakhon City Pillar Shrine is where Chao Pho Wichian Choti is enshrined. It is carved from Bodhi wood and looks like the Phra Siam Devathirat standing on a palanquin, which is meticulously carved. Then, it is covered with pure gold leaf. Every time before setting sail, the fishermen must perform a worship ceremony and set off firecrackers in front of the shrine to bring good fortune. Behind the shrine is the Samut Sakhon City Pillar, which is the largest city pillar in Thailand. In front of the City Pillar Shrine is a beautiful view of the Tha Chin River and is the location of the Mahachai Pier, which crosses to Tha Chalom, according to the famous song lyrics "Tha Chalom". #Samut Sakhon #Samut Sakhon City Pillar Shrine #Chao Pho Wichian Choti #Tha Chalom #Tha Mahachai
