Snake Temple | Rama 2 | Bangkok

According to legend, the Snake Temple was constructed to pacify the spirit of a king cobra, inadvertently slain during the building of a nearby structure. It’s said that the snake’s restless spirit tormented the area with misfortunes until the shrine was established. The temple stands as a enduring symbol of the deep belief in the snake spirit’s power and importance.
Even though land prices in the area have soared, the temple remains untouched, as no one dares to tear it down out of profound respect and awe for the snake spirit.
