Discover the beauty of the Tai Hong Kong White Jade Shrine, built to honor His Majesty the King’s 72nd Birthday. A new spiritual landmark in Sathorn, Bangkok, featuring grand Teochew Chinese architecture and the largest White Jade Tai Hong statue in the country.
The Birth of a Landmark
Bangkok’s spiritual landscape has a new chapter: the Tai Hong Kong White Jade Shrine. Rising from the historic Wat Don Cemetery in Sathorn, it honors Luang Pu Tai Hong — a revered figure of compassion whose legacy lives on through the Poh Teck Tung Foundation. Built to celebrate His Majesty the King’s 72nd Birthday, the shrine bridges past and present with ornate Teochew architecture and timeless devotion.
Where Faith Meets Art
Every detail here tells a story. Designed in the Teochew style of southern China, the shrine blends royal elegance with local craftsmanship. Intricate wood and stone carvings shimmer with meaning, inviting luck, wealth, and blessings. It’s not just architecture — it’s a cultural heartbeat where faith and artistry coexist.
The Heart of the Shrine
At its center stands one of Thailand’s largest white jade statues of Luang Pu Tai Hong. Chosen for its symbolism of purity and serenity, the figure radiates quiet dignity and compassion. More than a monument, it offers a rare moment of stillness in Bangkok’s restless energy.
Bangkok’s New Spiritual Landmark
With the rise of the “สายมู” lifestyle, the shrine has quickly become a destination for both locals and travelers. It’s a living poem carved in jade — a place where sacredness, culture, and beauty blend seamlessly.
