Description:
Chinatown can be a bit of a labyrinth with all of its narrow backstreets and passageways cluttered with markets. Leng Buai Ia shrine is hidden in these streets off of Charoen Krung Road. You'll see its courtyard first. Inside the ceramic-covered building is an altar dedicated to Leng Buai Ia and his wife. This is the oldest Chinese shrine in all of Thailand, dating back to 1658, and people pray here for success in business.
