Pay homage to the Bangkok City Pillar Shrine

#Bangkok City Pillar Shrine The Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is located at the southeast corner of Sanam Luang. According to the Brahmin tradition, Before building a city, a ceremony must be held to raise the city pillar to bring good fortune to the city. The pillars are made of Chaiyapruek wood with sandalwood as a base. The tops of the pillars are in the shape of lotus buds. There are two city pillars because the original pillars were severely damaged. During the reign of King Rama IV, he ordered the construction of a new city pillar to replace the damaged one. When you come here, don't forget to tie a tri-colored cloth around the pillars and fill them with holy oil. 📍 Opposite the Grand Palace, Lak Mueang Road, Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict, Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok ✅ Open daily from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. #tripmission #winterattractions
