NIGHT VISITS TO HINDU GODS AT RAJAPRASONG SHOPPING DISTRICT IN BANGKOK. MOST THAIS ARE BUDDHISTS BUT MANY WORSHIP HINDU GODS AS ONE OF THAILAND'S MOST FAMOUS SHRINES IS DEDICATED TO THE 4-FACE BRAHMA, OFTEN CALLED 4-FACE BUDDHA!

SO WHAT CAN A RELIGIOUS, PIOUS, MODEST, HUMBLE, GOD-FEARING PERSON PERSON LIKE DATO KEE HUA CHEE DO AFTER 9 PM WHEN ALL THE SHOPS AND MALLS CLOSE IN RAJAPRASONG, THE SHOPPING CENTRE OF BANGKOK?

THERE IS ALWAYS ASIATIQUE BUT THAT IS A LONG TAXI RIDE AWAY AND GOD FORBID I SHOULD VISIT PATPONG, NANA PLAZA AND SOI COWBOY, THE REDLIGHT DISTRICTS OF BANGKOK FAMED FOR PROSTITUTES AND BARS? BUDDHA, JESUS, KUANYIN AND VIRGIN MARY HAVE INSTRUCTED ME NEVER TO CONSORT WITH BAD WOMEN AND FOLLOW THE GODS' EXAMPLES. AFTER ALL, JESUS NEVER MARRIED AND BUDDHA ABANDONED HIS WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THE PALACE TO LEAD THE LIFE OF A WANDERING BEGGAR!

ANYWAY WHERE WAS I?

OH, IN RAJAPRASONG.

SO I DECIDED TO WORSHIP THE GODS IN THE VARIOUS SHRINES WHICH ARE ALL CONVENIENTLY LOCATED WITHIN MINUTES' WALK OF EACH OTHER!

I START WITH THE 2 NEWISH SHRINES IN FRONT OF CENTRAL WORLD PLAZA, ONE OF BANGKOK'S BIGGEST AND MOST SUCCESSFUL SHOPPING MALLS. THESE 2 SHRINES ARE LOCATED OPPOSITE ISETAN WHICH IS EASY TO FIND AS CENTRAL WORLD HAS 2 ANCHORS---ISETAN AND ZEN DEPARTMENT STORE

ONE SHRINE IS DEDICATED TO TRIMURTI AND THE OTHER TO GANESHA

TRIMURTI SHRINE

NOTICE THE SEA OF RED ROSES

TRIMURTI IS THE AMALGAM OF BRAHMA THE CREATOR, VISHNU THE PRESERVER AND SHIVA THE DESTROYER

VERY SIMILAR TO CHRISTIANITY'S HOLY TRINITY OF GOD THE HOLY FATHER, JESUS THE SON AND HOLY GHOST!

BUT FOR SOME REASON

WHICH PROVES RELIGION IS ALWAYS EVOLVING...

TRIMURTI IN BANGKOK'S CENTRAL WORLD PLAZA...

IS WORSHIPPED AS THE GOD OF LOVE!

YOUNG PEOPLE COME HERE TO PRAY FOR ROMANCE, LOVE AND MATRIMONIAL SUCCESS!

WHICH EXPLAINS THE SEA OF RED ROSES!

TRIMURTI SHRINE IS FILLED WITH YOUNG THAIS

SEEKING LOVE AND MARITAL BLISS!

THE POOL IS FILLED WITH RED ROSES WHICH SYMBOLISE LOVE

RED ROSES ARE BROUGHT HERE BY DEVOTEES PRAYING FOR LOVE

THIS IS GANESHA SHRINE WHICH IS NEXT TO TRIMURTI SHRINE

GANESHA REMOVES OBSTACLES

I ALSO PRAY TO GANESHA THE ELEPHANT HEADED GOD

DATO KEE HUA CHEE IN FRONT OF GANESHA WHO HE WORSHIPS AS REMOVER OF OBSTACLES AND BRINGER OF PROSPERITY

YELLOW MARIGOLDS ARE THE FLOWERS SYNONYMOUS WITH GANESHA

THE ELEPHANT STATUES ARE ALSO GARLANDED WITH MARIGOLDS

THE WORLD FAMOUS ERAWAN SHRINE WITH STATUE OF 4-FACE BRAHMA SOMETIMES CALLED 4-FACE BUDDHA

ERAWAN IS THE 3-HEADED ELEPHANT AND VEHICLE OF INDRA

THIS WORLD FAMOUS SHRINE IS AT THE CORNER OF GRAND HYATT A 5-STAR HOTEL AND IN FRONT OF UPSCALE MALL SELLING EXPENSIVE CLOTHES

I PRAYED HERE TO WIN THE TAT SHOPPER'S CONTEST AND BRAHMA GRANTED MY WISH AND I WON 100,000 THAI BAHT!

PRAISE 4-FACE BRAHMA 4EVER!

I ALSO PRAY HERE TO 4-FACE BRAHMA TO LENGTHEN MY PARENTS' LIVES AND KEEP THEM HEALTHY AS I DON'T LIVE WITH THEM AND WILL REPAY THEM IN MY NEXT LIFE
