Highly recommend not going during the new years or public holiday because the crowd could get really intense.
Line is organised outside but once you hit the entrance, there’s no system left. Make sure to remember where you leave your shoes. Try to find a little obscure place so it doesnt get kicked around. Metal detector is not really there to use, people enter around it. Quite a sight to see how Thais welcome their new year.

Bangkok City Pillar Shrine is a significant cultural and religious site in Bangkok. The shrine is well maintained, with elegant Thai architecture and a serene atmosphere. It’s an ideal place for visitors who want to experience local beliefs and history.

Amazing experience at this holy place.
Very helpful staff, great view overlooking Wat Phrakaew. I recommend tourists to be respectable and dress appropriately :) !

The only thing about this place where I'm not excited about, is how busy it can get. This shrine is the guardians of Thailand, this is a place people come to pay their respects to pray for things to improve their lives. The temple dates back many many years, it's a place where you can feel the love around you. Just close your eyes, and sit there. Be mindful of others around you and enjoy the architect and love.

This place is so beautiful and I saw some beauty of the thai culture and how they pray and the place is so calming and religious practice there is something very unique to watch. Feel so happy and calmness to be there. City pillar Shrine is must visit place. I saw no other nationality people were there. But must visit place. Entrance is free.
