Day 2 : Erawan Shrine


Took the BTS to visit Erawan Shrine, a tourist attraction.
Its actually located very near to all the major shopping areas hence we decided to visit it and pray for good health and luck. There are plenty of ppl here each day and it seems like a popular place tourists visit. You can buy the offerings at different prices, we took the cheapest one with candles and flowers and joss sticks...

We weren't really sure what to do, so monkey see monkey do.
I also read the damers post on what to do, so I tried to remember and followed suit.
Pray at each direction and put the joss sticks at each buddha, put the flowers at each "gate". The candle I just put it where I saw the most candles...
Apparently when we got home and read more abt the shrine, Females n Males are supposed to pray in clockwise and anti-clockwise directions. Oops...

The most expensive offerings were like trays of fruit and drinks, and you can also give bigger donations for dancers to ask for blessings for u...

A new cultural experience for me...
