Thian Fah Foundation (Kuan Yim Shrine)
NileGuide Expert Says:
An impressive shrine dedicated to the Goddess of MercyAddress:
Description:
The Thian Fah Foundation and its hospital provides medical care for the poor. It is only fitting then that the shrine located in what is effectively their parking lot is dedicated to the Chinese goddess of mercy, Kuan Yim (or Guan Yin depending on who you ask). Inside the shrine is an altar to her and several other Chinese figures. A large gate marks the entrance to the parking lot and is visible from Wat Traimit across Yaowarat and Charoen Krung Roads. The faithful burn incense sticks and pray in front of the shrine and inside.(Alternative spellings here include Tian Fa, Tien Fah, Thien Fah, and Kuan Im.)
