Kuan An Keng Shrine, Chinese shrine in Wat Kanlaya district, Thailand.

The Kuan An Keng Shrine features traditional Chinese courtyard architecture with detailed wood carvings and murals depicting scenes from Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

The shrine was established by King Taksin and rebuilt during King Rama III's reign, marking the presence of Hokkienese community in Bangkok's western riverside.

A wooden statue of Guanyin, the Chinese goddess of mercy, sits in the central position, distinguishing this shrine from others where the deity typically stands.

Located near the Chao Phraya River, the shrine opens daily from 7:30 AM to 5:00 PM, allowing visitors to explore its architectural elements and religious significance.

The shrine received the ASA Architectural Conservation Award in 2008 and remains under the care of the Simasatian and Tantiwetchakun families.
