One of the most bizarre places of worship in Bangkok is located in the middle between skyscrapers, two major traffic axes, the Skywalk and the BTS.
It is dedicated to the four-faced Buddha.
There are also dancers there who dance several times a day for donations.
Definitely worth a short detour (-:

The Thao Maha Brahma Prayer Site, also known as the Erawan Shrine, is a famous shrine in central Bangkok. Dedicated to the Hindu god Brahma (known as Phra Phrom in Thailand), it is located at the busy Ratchaprasong intersection next to the Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel. The shrine was built in the 1950s to protect the construction of the original Erawan Hotel from bad luck. The site is known for its spiritual atmosphere and as a place of prayer and offerings.

Visitors bring flowers, incense and other offerings to ask for blessings, prosperity and protection. Thank offerings in the form of traditional dance performances are often performed when wishes have been granted. The shrine is a symbol of Thailand's religious diversity and attracts not only locals but also tourists. The prayer site is open 24 hours a day and is considered a place where hope and spirituality merge.
