Wat Mangkon Kamalawat (Wat Leng Noei Yi)
Established in 1871, Wat Mangkon Kamalawat, also known as "Dragon Lotus Temple", is located on Shilongjun Road, Bangkok. It is a Mahayana Buddhist temple, and it is one of the earliest Buddhist temples build by Chinese migrants in Bangkok. Embedded deep with Chinese tradition, the incense from the temple burns throughout the year, and the temple plays host to an endless stream of worshippers during the Chinese lunar new year.
This Chinese temple is one of the handful of temples in Thailand revered in its ability to defuse bad luck of zodiac year. People can do ‘Tai Sui’ prayer to chase away their bad lucks and ask for protection as well as fortune and good health. This temple’s reputation to resolve bad luck is further strengthened by its long list of well-known worshippers, which includes many politicians and famous celebrities. It goes to show how well respected and endeared this temple is simply by looking at its list of visitors!
