Name Plaque of Ancient Guanyin Temple (Guanyin gumiao 觀音古廟) (ศาลเจ้ากวนอิม San Tchaw Kuan Im) Anderl, Christoph; Johansen, Kira; Thomson, Oliver; Sirothphiphat, Saly
Description
The Ancient Guanyin Temple (觀音古廟) (ศาลเจ้ากวนอิม San Tchaw Kuan Im) is a Buddhist temple in Bangkok, Thailand. This one room neighborhood temple was constructed during the reign of King Rama V, roughly from 1853-1910, as specified by the temple caretaker. The caretaker said that the temple was bombed during the Japanese invasion of Thailand in 1941, but was later rebuilt. The temple regularly hosts chanting groups, the majority of whom were specified to be Teochew Chinese (唐人). The caretaker stated that the temple has no state support, but does regularly pay money to a Chinese foundation. It is not known to what extent the temple has been renovated, nor how often. The photo shows the frontview from the patio with temple plaque, displaying the name of the temple 觀音古廟 and date of founding of the temple on the right: 光緒歲次茂子年 and names on the left: 蒲月眾弟子敬奉. Below the plaque are two red and gold winged lions, likely Pixiu (貔貅). Below that is the Thai street address (๓๙). Under that there sit two stone stamps in mirrored seal script.
