Thian Fah Foundation

What to Do at Thian Fah Foundation?

The highlight of the Thian Fah Foundation compound is the large and beautiful Chinese-style shrine. It used to be concealed behind a row of shophouses, making it one of Bangkokโ€™s better-kept secrets, but the obstacle was demolished so that the shrine could properly shine.

Inside the shrine, youโ€™ll find a stunning statue of Kuan Im, commonly known as the Goddess of Mercy, which is thought to be over 800 years old. The foundation itself is notably historical. Formed in 1902, itโ€™s Bangkokโ€™s oldest charitable society.
