Visiting the shrine at night, even when closed, provides a unique experience with its captivating red lanterns and tranquil ambiance. While the nighttime view is enchanting, the real charm awaits during daytime visits. It's a must-see for those exploring the area, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Bangkok's oldest Chinese temple. For those interested in more extensive activities, there is a larger counterpart in Nakhon Sawan province that comes alive, especially during Chinese New Year celebrations.
Leng Buai Ia Shrine is a hidden gem nestled in the bustling heart of Chinatown, Bangkok. This historic Taoist temple, located in Soi Yaowarat 6, offers a serene escape from the lively market crowds. The temple is beautifully maintained, with a donation-based toilet and ample space to explore its stunning interior. Although slightly tucked away, it's definitely worth seeking out while navigating through the narrow market streets.

One of the famous temples in Yaowarat, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat offers many religious activities in a great atmosphere. The temple has better rules than many others, as it doesn't allow the use of incense, which usually produces a lot of smoke. This makes the experience more pleasant for visitors.

Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour
I visited the Siri Guru Singh Sabha Gurdwara while in Bangkok. Although I've never been to India, this temple felt like a unique and interesting experience. However, it didn't quite have the ambiance of a religious institution; it felt more like a government building or palace to me.
