Bang Niew Sanctuary was founded in 1904 and relocated several times after fires that tradition considers mysterious. It is one of the most active sanctuaries during the Vegetarian Festival. During the festival, it is an excellent starting point to see the processions. The rest of the year, it is a quiet neighborhood Chinese temple.
Our local tip
During the Vegetarian Festival, it is one of the best spots to see the processions; protect your ears from firecrackers.
