Chao Pho Theparak - Chao Mae Thapthim Shrine, Nakhon Sawan District, Nakhon Sawan Province

Chao Pho Theparak can be found on the east bank of the Chao Phraya river practically opposite the convergence of the Ping and Nan rivers. The original shrine was made of wood and had to be repaired many times but in 1899 a new shrine was built, part concrete part wood, in three sections. The new section at the front is dedicated to Tee Kong, the God of the sky. The middle section is still constructed of wood while the back section is newly renovated where Pun Tao Kong resides at the centre. To his left is Guan Yu and to his right is Chao Mae Thapthim. The roof is decorated with a couple of dragons raising a glass ball.
