San Phra Kan

San Phra Kan, Historic shrine in Tha Hin, Thailand

Description

San Phra Kan is a stone shrine in Tha Hin, Thailand, arranged across several levels with niches, small towers, and open areas for prayer. The structure shows a mix of columns, carved frames, and low roofs that divide the space into different zones for devotion and contemplation.

History

The shrine was built during the Ayutthaya period between the 14th and 18th centuries as a center for local religious practices. It was later renovated and continues to serve for rituals and ceremonies in the region.

Culture

Local monks and worshippers gather at the shrine to perform traditional ceremonies that maintain centuries-old religious practices of Thailand.

Practical

The site opens daily at sunrise and closes at sunset, and visitors should wear comfortable shoes to walk on the uneven stone floors. A quiet visit is recommended when worshippers are present to avoid disturbing their devotion.

Did you know?

The site is home to a large colony of wild macaques that move freely among the stones and steps. Visitors often see these animals interacting with worshippers who bring food and consider them sacred inhabitants of the place.
