“Located in the heart of the civic center, easily accessible by MRT, housing the original city pillar and Phra Siam Thewathiraj.”
Nonthaburi City Pillar Shrine serves as a spiritual center for modern Nonthaburi residents and is conveniently located for public access.
The current shrine was built within the civic center to serve as a symbol of prosperity alongside the provincial administrative hub. The province also has an older city pillar shrine (Pak Khlong Om City Pillar Shrine), over 300 years old, situated on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River near Maha Chedi Bodinthranusorn Bridge.
The building is a traditional Thai four-sided pavilion (Chaturmukha), elegant and in line with standard city pillar architecture.
Inside the shrine are enshrined:
-
The original city pillar (gold leaf application is not allowed)
-
Phra Siam Thewathiraj
Visitors come to pray for stability, career growth, and business success, believing that worship at the shrine opens paths and blessings for prosperity.
Outside the pavilion, offerings such as garlands, three-colored cloth, incense, candles, and gold leaf sheets are provided (donations are optional). The shrine is set within a public park, providing a shaded and peaceful environment.
