This temple's exact coordinates aren't confirmed yet, so the link above searches by name and city rather than pointing to a verified spot.

Within the same cluster of Hindu-derived shrines at Bangkok’s Ratchaprasong intersection that includes the Erawan Shrine and the so-called Trimurti (Sadasiva) Shrine — both documented separately in this directory — stands a shrine to Ganesha, known locally as Phra Phi Khanet. Like its neighbors, it draws a mix of Thai Buddhist and folk-devotional visitors seeking blessings, reflecting the broader pattern by which Hindu iconography has been absorbed into Thai popular religious practice at this famously shrine-dense central Bangkok intersection, sometimes nicknamed the “Intersection of Gods.”

Little independently documented detail beyond the shrine’s name, deity, and location within the Ratchaprasong cluster could be confirmed from the source checked in this pass; this entry records its confirmed existence pending fuller sourcing on its founding date and specific architectural or devotional practices.

Sources

historical record: Cross-checked against Wikipedia's Ratchaprasong article during this research pass: confirms 'Phra Phi Khanet (Ganesh)' as one of the named Hindu shrines within the Ratchaprasong intersection shrine cluster, alongside the Erawan and Trimurti/Sadasiva shrines already documented separately in this directory.

For review

Sourcing for this specific shrine is limited to a single bare listing (name plus general cluster context) in the Wikipedia Ratchaprasong article; no independent founding date, exact address/frontage, or architectural description could be confirmed in this pass. Treat this entry as documenting the shrine's confirmed existence and identity within the Ratchaprasong cluster, not a fully detailed account.
As with the neighboring Erawan and Trimurti/Sadasiva shrines already in this directory, worship here blends Hindu iconographic origin with Thai folk and Buddhist devotional practice rather than functioning as a conventional Hindu temple.
