The Erawan Shrine sits on one of the most expensive retail real estate in Bangkok, outside Gaysorn Plaza and a skip away from mega shopping complexes like Central World, Siam Centre, Siam Paragon.
Rumour has it that when the Gaysorn Plaza was being built, workmen kept on dying, something like 5 had died before they decided to put halt and build a shrine to Erawan. The deaths stopped and now Thais and tourists alike go there to make offerings and pray for just about anything. And if you get your wish granted, you're meant to come back and pay for a traditional dance.
The place was packed!
