Leng Buai Ia Shrine

Thought to have originally been a Teochew-style shrine, it would have been used by Chinese businessmen aiming to improve the prosperity of their businesses and to establish social connections.

[2][3] Built in a classic Chinese architectural style, the shrine has a roof made of glazed colored tiles, adorned with two ceramic-clad dragons.

The shrine contains, at its center, an altar dedicated to Leng Buai Ia and his wife.

[2] Near the entrance is an ancient bell attributed to the Daoguang Emperor, towards the end of the Qing dynasty.

Other items inside the shrine include three plaques from the reign of the Kangxi Emperor in the Qing dynasty, a bell inscribed with the name of Choen Thai Chue, and a container for incense sticks given as a gift from King Chulalongkorn (Rama V).
