The Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is a magnificent and revered Buddhist temple situated in the old quarter of Thailand's capital city. This remarkable site stands as an emblem of the historical importance of Bangkok, with its construction originally being built by King Rama I who founded the current dynasty over 200 years ago. The temple itself was constructed to represent the very centre of the city and houses a majestic stone pillar at its heart. This stone pillar is believed to have been blessed by Rama I himself as a source of protection for all those who reside within the boundaries of Bangkok.
The shrine can be found near Tha Phra Chan Road, close to Wang Lang Pier on the south bank of Chao Phraya River. It was originally constructed in 1782 and remains one of the oldest temples in Bangkok. One will find many locals paying their respects here, as it is said that praying at this spot brings good fortune and harmony into their lives. Adorned with sculptures and several murals depicting scenes from Rama V's reign, this shrine also offers stunning views over the river and nearby Rattanakosin Island, making it an ideal spot for sightseeing.
Visitors will also find a small museum located inside the temple which houses some historic artifacts related to early Bangkok history such as coins, Buddha images, and ancient pottery shards that were discovered during excavation work for new construction projects around the area. Additionally, one will come across souvenir shops where visitors can purchase postcards or other memorabilia from their visit to Bangkok City Pillar Shrine.
