Description: |
|
The bright red Chao Hon Wong Kung Shrine can be found in the
Talat Noi area of Chinatown. It is also known as the Rong Kuak
Shrine. The image of Hon Wong Kung arrived in Bangkok from China
in the early Rattanakosin era through Hakka merchants. 100 years
later during the reign of King Rama V a shrine to house the
image in was built. In 1888 the shrine was rebuilt to the left
of the old site and closer to the river. The interior of the
Rong Kuak shrine features some attractive carvings and murals
while the Hon Wong Kung statue is central. On either side, there
are other Chinese deities. There is an annual Hon Wong Kung
ceremony on the birthday of Cai Sen (the God of wealth and
fortune). This occurs on the 12th day of the 9th month of the
Chinese lunar year. Normally this is around the end of October. |
