lakshmi shrine in Siam

Lakshmi Shrine

    The Lakshmi Shrine is a bit of a hidden gem right in the middle of Ratchaprasong, just across the road from CentralWorld. It’s tucked away on the 4th floor of Gaysorn Village, and honestly, it’s not that easy to find. The easiest way is to go up to the 2nd floor first, then take the external service lift — the type usually used for moving goods — which takes you straight up to the rooftop, where the shrine is located. Once you step out, you’ll see the golden statue of Lakshmi surrounded by flowers and incense, a quiet little escape above the busy shopping district.
