Fodor's Expert Review Fertility Shrine at Nai Lert Park

Hundreds of phalluses, from small wooden carvings to big stone sculptures decorated with ribbons, place this shrine honoring the female fertility spirit Chao Mae Tuptim in a category all its own. Women visit the shrine when trying to conceive, leaving offerings of lotus and jasmine. If Bangkok gossip is correct, the shrine has a good success rate. To get here, go to the Swissotel Nai Lert Park and walk to the end of the ground-level garage; the shrine will be on your right. Though open all the time, it's best visited before dusk.
