Brief History
This shrine began as a small shrine where people believed in the deity Na Cha Sa Tai Tzu, believed to bring good fortune in business. Later, in 1996, a four-story shrine was built to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej the Great (Rama IX) on the occasion of his 72nd birthday. It was bestowed the name "Wihan Thep Sathit Phra Kiti Chalerm," which means "Thep Sathit Phra Kiti Chalerm Temple," meaning "Thep Sathit Phra Kiti Chalerm Temple." "The Residence of the Gods"
For those visiting Chonburi who desire the beauty of Chinese architecture, the sacredness of the place, and the nearby sea view, the Wihan Thep Sathit Phra Kiti Chalerm (Na Cha Shrine) is a must-see.
