Each week
we post a link to an article in Bangkok 101 and this time it is about something quirky in
Bangkok. (Original articles by Joe Cummings and Jim
Algie)
The Trimurti Shrine
The
Trimurti Shrine was built in 1989 and if you look carefully you can see that
the statue is three different Hindu deities standing cheek by jowl on a raised
platform and protected by a decorated dome. It is a popular location on
Thursdays in the late evening for single women because this is the time that
the deities will descend from heaven to hear their prayers.

The Tuptim Shrine
The original shrine was originally surrounded by a plethora of wooden phalluses
in all shapes and sizes and apparently, prayer here would lead to pregnancy.
Today the setting has become changed and is now in the Nai Lert Park – and is
less chaotic and more tasteful.
If you have all this, then we suggest you take
your loved one around the corner to Cape House for something to eat. Even if you don’t we still suggest you indulge yourself
and visit us here.
