Quiet Riverside Hokkien Sanctuary
This two-century-old shrine serves as a spiritual anchor for the Hokkien Chinese community, dedicated to the Black-faced monk Qingshui Zushi. Its simple yet richly adorned altar, fragrant with incense and decorated with fruits and paper offerings, creates an atmosphere steeped in history and devotion. A large awning shades the courtyard, tempering the riverside ambiance but offering welcome relief on hot days. The shrine pulses quietly with active worship, especially on weekends.

Chow Sue Kong Shrine · Reviews
Got a bit turned around finding it in the alley, but it was worth the detour — quiet, simple, and the joss sticks felt like an actual donation instead of a tourist tax.
Pranom Sitwat (2026)Visiting on a Sunday afternoon offers a quieter experience with helpful staff ready to guide you in making merit. Don't miss the beautiful view of the Chao Phraya River right in front of the shrine.
Bangon (2025)Tucked away on Charoen Krung street, also known as Chow Sue Kong Talat Noi Shrine, this place is a hidden gem known mostly to locals. It's a vibrant spot during Chinese New Year and the vegetarian festival, featuring traditional Chinese merit activities and stunning architecture.
Kannika (2025)This beautiful and serene shrine offers a calming retreat amidst the busyness of Bangkok. Its intricate statues and Chinese architectural details make it a picturesque location for capturing memorable photos.

Grace Flores (2025)Located within walking distance from Wat Trimot, this shrine is particularly popular with Chinese tourists. It gets crowded from Friday to Sunday, but its simplicity and charm make it worth a visit.
