Revival of Erawan Shrine and Ratchaprasong Square
Erawan Shrine in Ratchaprasong Square was targeted in a 2015 bombing, but the area is now experiencing a revival with the upcoming Moxy Bangkok hotel and Amarin shopping mall renovations. Wisit Suthathirarat anticipates a surge in visitor numbers to pre-pandemic levels, drawing in tourists from various countries. Additionally, the shrine has received 1.8 billion baht in donations in 2022, benefitting numerous charities and over 50 hospitals.
