Making merit for coffins at Hua Lamphong Temple
Today, #TootKrua will take you to “make merit in the most popular way” at one of the most iconic locations for merit-making in Bangkok, the Ruamkatanyu Foundation at Wat Hua Lamphong, right in the heart of the city! Easy to get to, right next to the MRT, near Samyan-Silom. Whether you are a merit-making, spiritual person, or volunteer, you must have made merit by donating a coffin at least once!
⸻
Why do you have to come to Wat Hua Lamphong?
Because this place is the center for making merit by donating “coffins” to help the poor who died without relatives or caregivers, which is considered the “highest level of merit-making” in the Chinese-Thai merit-making style! They say that… if your life is stuck or you encounter something difficult, try donating a coffin. This merit will help pave the way for a better life, like resetting your past karma!

The steps to make merit are very easy!
1. Walk straight into the foundation (it’s right next to Wat Hua Lamphong).
2. Tell the staff that “Make merit for a coffin” They will arrange a complete set
3. Write your name and surname on a piece of paper
4. Pray and place it in front of the replica coffin
5. When you’re done, take home a certificate of merit (or post it on social media, it’s great)
Normally, the recommended donation amount is 100-500 baht per coffin, but you can make more than that, mom!

Those who believe in superstition, pray, and worship shouldn’t miss this!
Inside Hua Lamphong Temple, there are sacred Buddha images, Chinese shrines, and various deities for you to worship, covering both Buddhist and superstitious people. There are also monks for you to make merit and offer alms to throughout the day. If you have something on your mind, want to ward off bad luck, or want to ask for blessings for health, work, finances, or love, you can make merit at every point!

Feeling like a friend after donating a coffin
After making merit, your mind will feel light and comfortable, like you have let go of something heavy. You will feel like, “Oh… life isn’t all bad.” and want to come back to make merit again and again because it is easy, close, and very meaningful. If you have never been here, I think you should try it at least once in your life.
