Mom wanted to go to Erawan Temple. Very crowded because a big celebration day. Not recommend to bring elderly and disable person during big celebrations because you won't find a space. Too crowded. Just bring lots of small change Thai Baht for giving the nuns and monks around the temples.

It's a famous holy place for Thai people and foreigners, and it's one of the tourist attractions to visit. But if you want to buy a flower for worship, you better buy from the shop inside. It's on the right side after you enter the entrance. The prices are lower than outside.
The famous erawan shrine located at the Rachaprasong intersection.
Must visit holy place of worship in Thailand. Legend has it that the adjoining hotel keep on having construction accidents until the shrine was erected. Afterwards people come here because the shrine has powers to grant you what ever success you wish for. But you must return in exchange for your wish if it comes true. Some people will contribute elephants for each of the four faces. Some have even Lum Thai or Thai traditional dance naked. This shrine is so revered that there is another replica in Las Vegas.
Erawan shrine is very crowded place because Thais believe that if you go and pray at this shrine, and ask for a wish. Your wish will shall come true. -- People also believe that you need to do something in return after your wish came true. The statue in the shire is Tao Mahaprom or Brahma -- the creator god in Hinduism. So people believe that he in the one who creates everything at the first place so he is the one who control your destiny. To pray the god, you should take flowers, and incense sticks (it can be bought at the Shrine). Then, you should pray at all four directions of the statue (or ask staffs for advices). To do something in return, people tend to hire Thai dancers at the shrine to dace as worship rituals.
