Horseshoe Shrine on the banks of the Chao Phraya River

#BangkokTravel Rong Kua Shrine, Talat Noi .. Rong Kua Shrine or Chao Pho Hon Wong Kung Shrine is an old shrine of the Talat Noi community on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. .. According to the information on the stone plaque inside the Chao Pho Hon Wong Kung Shrine, which records that during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, year 15, corresponding to the year 2432, a Hakka Chinese merchant invited Chao Pho Hon Wong Kung from China to be enshrined in Thailand for worship for more than a hundred years before the current shrine was built. .. The original shrine was located on the right-hand side. Later, when the procession of Chao Pho Hon Wong Kung was held, those who came to join the procession found that the original shrine was too narrow and unsuitable for the ceremony. In the year 2431, the shrine committee, which was a group of Hakka Chinese merchants and devotees, donated money to buy land to the left of the original shrine on the banks of the Chao Phraya River and built a new shrine. #100TravelWays #Talat Noi
