&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Praying at the Erawan Shrine is a specific and culturally significant experience. This Hindu Shrine, located in the heart of Bangkok, is a place of devotion, spirituality, and wishes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s How to Pray at Erawan&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;1. Buy your flowers, joss sticks, and candles.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;There is a counter on the right side of the Shrine and lots outside. These offerings symbolize purity and devotion.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;2. Approach with respect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Start from the first and front face of the four faces of Buddha, which faces the entrance of the Shrine. Approach the Shrine, bow three times, and clasp your hands together in a prayer position. Close your eyes and offer your prayers or wishes silently or verbally. Each face of the four faces of Buddha signifies a different meaning, such as&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; Front face: Career&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; Left face: Romance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; Back face: Money&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt; Right face: Health&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pray sincerity in a clockwise direction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Put 1 candle, 1 bunch of flowers, and 3 joss sticks at each of the four faces of Buddha. Light the incense sticks and place them in the designated holders. The fragrant smoke is believed to carry your prayers to the heavens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Make a wish.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Donations can be made at the Shrine to support its maintenance and charitable activities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Ring the Bells: Some visitors ring the bells around the Shrine to announce their presence and make their prayers known to the deities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Finish your visit by washing your face, hands, and legs in the golden urn just beside it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Exit Respectfully: When leaving, bow three times again as a gesture of thanks and respect.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Praying at the Erawan Shrine is a beautiful way to immerse yourself in Thai culture, seek blessings, or simply find a moment of inner peace amidst the bustling city life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When Your Prayers Come True&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If your prayers are answered and come true, you should come back to Erawan Shrine to repay the four-faced Buddha. You can buy coconuts, wooden elephants, etc., at the same counter and place them on the table in front of the Four-Face Buddha.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For bigger requests, you should pay the dancers in the Shrine to dance for you while you pray your thanks. There is a price list indicating the price for how many dancers you would like to hire.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400; color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;For Thais, life&amp;rsquo;s victories aren&amp;rsquo;t solely attributed to blessings from the gods. Irrespective of how much influence the supernatural has over life&amp;rsquo;s circumstances, these prayers are a way of showing gratitude to the gods for the good things that happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;How do I get to Erawan Shrine?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Location&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
