Strange Building Out To Sea. What is it please?

Post by Big Boy »

I was walking along the Red Bridge (near Samut Sakhon) yesterday when I spotted a strange vessel a few miles out to sea.

Imagine my surprise when I zoomed in with my little point and shoot and saw this.

Does anybody know what it is, and why it's there please? Mr BB simply shrugged her shoulders and said somebody has built a sala.

Thank you very much sateeb. If I'd realised you could get a boat out for a look around I'd have probably gone for a look. Such a strange place to build a shrine.

Maybe it was dry land when they built it ... :duck:

It is located in Tambon Phanthai Norasing. The shrine in the middle of the river houses the much revered Phra Phuttha Maha Samut or Phra Klang Nam, Unseen Samut Sakhon. Open to the public during 07.00 a.m. to 06.00 p.m.
