A small shrine, hidden away on a hotel’s grounds, contains hundreds of wooden models of a penis, placed there by women wanting to become pregnant.
Almost unknown by tourists and undocumented in most tourist guidebooks, it is easy to find and worth visiting.

Located on the grounds of the Nai Lert Park Hotel, a five star hotel in the Raffles chain, it is only about 20 or 25 meters (yards) square,
but contains hundreds of offerings by hopeful women. The centerpiece is a small spirit house, placed on a pole about 1.5 meters (5 feet) high that is covered with coloured cloth.
Candles are placed in front of the spirit house, and colourful flowers are changed daily. There is a marble stand in front of the spirit house where people can make offerings.
To the left of the spirit house is a 3 meter (10 feet) tall wooden penis, draped in colourful cloth banners
This shrine is very old, dating back at least to the early twentieth century, and possibly earlier. Inside the spirit house is a plaque displaying a female, who is the goddess, Phra Mae Tuptim.

A small sign at the entrance says, “Chao Mae Tuptim, or Goddess Tuptim Shrine.The origins of Chao Mae Tuptim are obscure.
It can only be recalled that a spirit house was built by Nai Lert, for the spirit who was believed to reside in the large Sai (Ficus) tree.
The basic offerings are fragrant wreaths of snow-white Jasmine flowers, incense sticks, pink and white lotus buds.
There are many small ceramic figures, called the “Lords of the Land”, placed in front of the spirit house. These are quite common in Thailand and found in most spirit houses.
