I had the opportunity to visit the Mahadeva Ganesha Temple near Bangkok, and it was truly a memorable experience. The temple is beautifully designed, with a peaceful atmosphere that immediately brings a sense of calm and devotion. The idol of Lord Ganesha is magnificent and radiates such divine energy that you naturally feel blessed just by being there. The surroundings are serene, well maintained, and perfect for spending quiet time in prayer and reflection. What stood out most was not just the architecture but also the spiritual vibe of the entire place — it feels like a hidden gem away from the busy city. For anyone traveling near Bangkok, I highly recommend visiting this temple to experience both its beauty and its uplifting...

This is one of the most beautiful... traditional Thai Hindu temples built in the modern style (also seen in 🇱🇰🇲🇾🇸🇬🇹🇼) Ganeß statues line the atrium as you enter, they have a focus on Southeast Asian Hinduism with a deep veneration of the local deities as well (which are a mix of Yunnan, Tamil, Srivijaya, & Kalinga traditions all blended perfectly)...traditional Tai Hindu believers from most regions have visited they have very welcoming and helpful staff and Pujāri/พราหมณ์ there, they have a cafe as well called Deva Cafe, with vegetarian food that almost everyone can enjoy (but not เจ, although the temple sweets are เจ)...
