    Located at Silom Road (Thanon Silom), opposite of Narai Hotel is the famous Sri Mariamman temple. It shows the religious tolerance in the Thai society.

    There are many flower stalls outside the temple. And many tourists freely enter the temple compound to take a closer look at ceremonies or taking photographs of the statues of Hindu Gods and Goddesses.

    There is a sizeable number of Indian tailors and Indian shops in the neighborhood.

    It is just unexpected sight after seeing so many Buddhist temples in Bangkok that suddenly a Hindu temple appears from nowhere. As usual, show proper respect as there always devotees offering their prayers while your cameras click away.

    This is the most sacred place for Indian's (and some Thais') community in Bangkok. The temple looks very unique and colorful. Great experience, although the inscense-sticks' smell can be irritating at the first moment. You can also make a pray, this place is famous among prayers, and it draws more and more people each year.

    No photos can be taken from the inside, take off your shoes before entering.

  • Directions: Around 10 mins walk from Chong Nonsi Skytrain station On the opposite side of Sofitel, Silom.

    An extraordinary Hindu temple, built in the 1860s by Tamil immigrants, sits alongside Thanom Silom, close to the major western hotels.
    (also known as the Maha Uma Devi temple).

    Ornate and colourful is an understatement for this structure, which, while open to tourists to wander through the open courtyards and shrines, does not allow photographs to be taken inside the compound.

    This is a Hindu colourful temple built by Tamil immigrants. See the Hindu deities in full-colour on the main temple, which is topped by a gold-plated copper dome. Inside of this main shrine is Jao Mae Maha Umathewi, known as Uma Devi (it is the same as the legendary Mariammam, Goddess of Death). She is consort of Shiva who you can find here in a row. Together with Vishnu and the other Hindu deities.

    There are a few Buddha images, so that just about any non-Muslim, non-Judea-Christian Asian can worship here. Thai call this temple Wat Khaek, which means "Temple of Guest", as people of Indian descent are viewed. Not appreciated by the Indians.

    It's prohibited to take pictures when there is a ceremonial celebration, so I could take just these 2 pics ...

    Situated next to a busy road the Sri Mariamman Temple provides wonderful assault on your senses.

    Built by Tamil immigrants in the latter 19th Century the temple is a riot of colour and decoration. Your eyes can’t stop picking out the different statues and carvings of deities and holy symbols while your nose twitches to the smell of incense.

    Like most of the temples we visited there is a constant stream of worshippers and, as long as you are respectful and mindful of them, they are very happy to share their place of worship worth visitors.

    Tamil immigrants built this Hindu temple in the 1860s. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Mariamman who is worshipped for her power to protect against disease and death. You are allowed to walk in the courtyard however pictures are not allowed.
