Hidden within the bustling city of Bangkok, the Peiing Shrine whispers tales of fertility and fortune. The Peiing Shrine isn’t your typical place of worship. It’s a unique blend of Chinese folk religion and Thai beliefs. Located near the former Swissotel Nai Lert Park Hotel, now the Mu00f6venpick BDMS Wellness Resort Bangkok, the Peiing Shrine, also known as the Chao Mae Tuptim Shrine, is a sight to behold. Imagine a collection of over one hundred wooden and stone phalluses, ranging in size from small carvings to statues towering over ten feet tall. The shrine’s origins trace back to the early 20th century when businessman Nai Lert discovered a spirit house floating in the nearby Khlong Saen Saep canal. He placed it on his property, dedicating it to Chao Mae Tuptim, a tree spirit believed to reside in a large Ficus tree. Women seeking to conceive come to the Peiing Shrine to leave offerings of candles, jasmine, lotus flowers, and incense. They pray to Chao Mae Tuptim for blessings of fertility. The phalluses, while seemingly unusual, are seen as symbols of good luck and fertility in Thai culture. Some are adorned with ribbons and brightly colored cloths, adding to the unique atmosphere of the shrine. The Peiing Shrine stands as a testament to the blend of cultures and beliefs that make Thailand so fascinating. It’s a place where tradition meets the unexpected, offering a glimpse into a world beyond the ordinary.
