[2025 Bangkok Attraction] Travel Guide for Bangkok City Pillar Shrine (Updated Apr)

#BangkokAttractions This Bangkok Pillar Temple is opposite the Grand Palace, but the Chinese sign at the door here is Bangkok City God Temple, not Bangkok Pillar Temple. Lak Muang (Bangkok Pillar Temple), located in a beautiful building, is a representative of Thai classic architecture. The wooden pillar was originally installed on April 21, 1782, on the advice of an astrologer. This place now serves as a stabilizing force and a symbol of national peace and prosperity. This was the first building built for the new capital Bangkok after King Rama I of the Chakri dynasty moved the capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. The sacred pillar was rebuilt several times after that. The last time was in 1982 to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Bangkok’s founding of the capital. The most famous thing is that there is a Buddha statue in the temple called "Prophet Buddha". After worshiping Buddha and gods, whether the wishes made will come true is a question that many friends are particularly concerned about. Tell him your wish, and if it comes true, you will be able to hold up the Buddha statue. If you feel that the Buddha statue is too heavy to hold up, then your wish this time will not come true.

Many bus lines stop at Sanam Luang, such as line 203, so you can walk around comfortably. Or the subway is also very convenient. Get off at Sam Yot Station.

However, there are a lot of local Thai worshippers, and there is no end to the worshippers from morning.
