Erawan Shrine
ศาลท้าวมหาพรหม
A Brahma shrine at a shopping-district intersection, famed among Chinese visitors for granting wishes. Those giving thanks can hire traditional dancers to perform.
The shrine enshrines Brahma of Hinduism and was built in 1956 to resolve construction problems at the Erawan Hotel. Its four faces symbolise career, love, health and wealth. Visitors can buy garlands and incense as offerings, and when giving thanks they can pay for traditional dancers to perform. Entry is free. The shrine is at the Ratchaprasong intersection beside the Grand Hyatt Erawan, reached directly by the skywalk from BTS Chit Lom station, and surrounded by malls such as CentralWorld.
