Devaraj Neramit (Thep Thanjai), Wat Thewarat Kunchorn
Thep Thanjai, also known as Lord Devaraj Neramit, is widely known for its sacredness. It is believed that those who come to pay respect and make wishes will have their wishes fulfilled. Thep Thanjai is enshrined at Devaraj Neramit Temple, one of Bangkok’s historic temples. The temple is located along the Phadung Krung Kasem Canal and the Chao Phraya River. People commonly visit to pay respect and pray for blessings in various aspects of life, including career and work.
Tiger God Shrine (Sao Chingcha)
The Tiger God Shrine, known among Thai-Chinese people as “Tua Lao Eia,” is another historic Chinese shrine in Thailand where many people go to pray for success in their careers and work. According to local beliefs, those who are facing business difficulties or wish to pray for smooth progress in their business or career should come here to seek blessings for authority, prestige, and prosperity. There is also a belief that the shrine is a place for resolving Chong (a year of zodiac conflict). People whose zodiac sign clashes with the year’s zodiac animal often come here to perform rituals believed to ward off misfortune and invite good fortune and prosperity.
City Pillar Shrine, Grand Palace Area
Another place widely known for its reputation for sacredness is the Bangkok City Pillar Shrine. It is regarded as an important sacred site of the city, dating back to the establishment of Bangkok as the new capital. According to Brahmanical tradition, when a city is founded, a city pillar ceremony must be performed as an auspicious rite before construction begins. In addition, the City Pillar Shrine houses a shrine dedicated to the five guardian deities. It is believed that those who come to pray here may receive blessings.
Erawan Shrine, Ratchaprasong Intersection
When it comes to Phra Phrom (Erawan Shrine), it is a deity that almost everyone knows. Every day, large numbers of people visit to pray for blessings.

Anyone passing through the Ratchaprasong area will often notice that the area around the Erawan Shrine is consistently crowded with worshippers.

Luang Pho Thanjai, Wat Phra That Doi Kham
Luang Pho Thanjai at Wat Phra That Doi Kham in Chiang Mai is a Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya posture that is more than 1,400 years old. It is considered one of the oldest Buddha images in Thailand.

Otherwise, the wish may not be fulfilled.

Merchants and business owners, in particular, commonly pay their respects to seek blessings for prosperity in their business and trade.
