Phra Pradaeng City Pillar Shrine | Samut Prakan

Pay homage to the Phra Pradaeng City Pillar Shrine and pay homage to the oldest Ganesha statue in Thailand because it was built in 1995 and as of this year, 2563, it will be 205 years old. The history of the Phra Pradaeng City Pillar Shrine is that during the reign of King Rama II, King Phutthaloetla Naphalai, he graciously built the city originally called "Nakhon Khuen Khan" and appointed "Saming Thomma", the son of Phraya Cheng, as the leader. He was later appointed as the mayor of Nakhon Khuen Khan and built the "Nakhon Khuen Khan City Pillar Shrine" according to ancient royal traditions. It is a Chinese-style shrine and built a simple and beautiful Ganesha statue without any patterns on the city pillar. Therefore, we will not be able to see the city pillar because it will be under the base of the Ganesha statue. This is one of the reasons that Thai people have worshipped Ganesha for a long time. Therefore, this is considered the oldest Ganesha statue in Thailand. #CentralTeam #WorshipGanesha #PhraPradaengCityPillarShrine #SamutPrakan #Thailand #PlacesToVisitNearBangkok #ComeWithFaith #Thais travel in Thailand #Travel around Thailand
