Leng Buai Ia Shrine

An inscription on this shrine say that it was erected in 1658, although experts estimate that it was built a 100 years later, at about the same time the Chareonchai community settled in the area. Regardless of the date it was built, it remains one of Bangkok’s oldest Chinese shrines.
Built in the Teochew style, it features dragons wrapped around rice grainshaped pillars. Inside, the shrine holds Chinese artifacts from the Ming and Qing dynasty, including an antique bell built in the reign of the Daoguang emperor, the sixth Qing emperor to rule over China.
