Chao Mae Tuptim Shrine | ศาลเจ้าแม่ทับทิม

On the grounds of the Nai Lert Hotel, this shrine was originally dedicated to the female spirit Tuptim. As the legend goes, a woman who prayed to the shrine for a baby conceived shortly thereafter, and returned after the birth with a statue of a carved penis to thank the spirit. Over the years many women who wanted to conceive have donated penises to the shrine, so that there's a whole collection of stone, wooden, ceramic, and plastic penises in all shapes, colours and sizes, and the shrine is now known as a shrine of fertility. location
