Bangkok City Pillar Shrine

The only thing about this place where I'm not excited about, is how busy it can get. This shrine is the guardians of Thailand, this is a place people come to pay their respects to pray for things to improve their lives. The temple dates back many many years, it's a place where you can feel the love around you. Just close your eyes, and sit there. Be mindful of others around you and enjoy the architect and love.

Amazing experience at this holy place. Very helpful staff, great view overlooking Wat Phrakaew. I recommend tourists to be respectable and dress appropriately :) !

Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is a significant cultural and religious site in Bangkok. The shrine is well maintained, with elegant Thai architecture and a serene atmosphere. It’s an ideal place for visitors who want to experience local beliefs and history.

Important shrine housing the Bangkok city spirit deity. Beautiful, clean and holy. A popular destination during new years.

This place is so beautiful and I saw some beauty of the thai culture and how they pray and the place is so calming and religious practice there is something very unique to watch. Feel so happy and calmness to be there. City pillar Shrine is must visit place. I saw no other nationality people were there. But must visit place. Entrance is free.

I love this part of Bangkok with all the historic Royal buildings and trees / landscaping. The city pillar has an interesting link to Thailands tumultuous and sometimes bloody past or power struggles. The shrines are around the complex are beautifully decorated and worth a visit.

Just steps away from Neighbor Phuthon, discover the Bangkok City Pillar Shrine — a sacred landmark built in 1782, believed to bring stability, luck, and new beginnings. 🙏 Whether you’re here to embrace Thai culture, make a wish for good fortune, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, this shrine is a must-visit while exploring Bangkok’s Old Town. 📍 A meaningful stop right around the corner from our hotel.

It was a Sunday afternoon during peak season and it was absolutely packed with Thais and tourists. Certainly a historical place worth visiting but just might do it again in the slow season. Vendors around the temple so all good. Recommended!
