Chinese Temple

Bangkok has a large Chinatown and many of the Thais hail from Chinese descendants so it is not surprising that Chineses temples abound in Bangkok. They tend to be quite small and often somewhat hidden in contrast to the huge Wat's that are the temples of the more traditional Thai form of Bhuddhism.

This temple is on a road running parallel with Silom Road and just behind the Central department store. It is typically adorned with dragons.
