Fertility Shrine
Nai Lert Park, 2 Wireless (Wittayu) Rd, Bangkok
Description:
For something a little different, visit this shrine with its hundreds of phallic carvings and statues, made of both wood and stone. The park honors the female fertility spirit Chao Mae Tuptim and is often visited by women who are trying to conceive. The tradition is to leave ribbons, lotuses and jasmine offerings on the carvings and statues. Maybe there’s something in it – the park’s popularity certainly never wanes. Find it next to the Nai Lert Park Hotel on the klong (canal) side. Admission: Free
