Pay homage to the sacred shrine and enjoy a 180-degree view of the sea.

#VisitHuaHin

The Shrine of Mae Taptim, also known as the Shrine of Chao Pho Sai Nam Khieo, is a group of Chinese shrines that are sacred and have been worshipped by the people of Hua Hin for a long time. It consists of the Shrine of Chao Pho Sai Nam Khieo, Chao Pho Somboon, Chao Mae Kuan Im, and Chao Mae Taptim, all in the same area. This shrine is located in Soi Nares Damri next to the Hilton Hotel. There is a sufficient amount of parking space and a walkway connecting to the Hilton Hotel's beachfront restaurant.

The story of this group of shrines is told by a legend that a wooden board floated upstream towards the Hua Hin fishing village. The villagers saw it as a miracle, so they brought it to worship and built a shrine called the Shrine of Chao Pho Sai Nam Khieo. Before going out to catch fish in the sea, they would light firecrackers to ask for blessings from the Chao Pho for good luck.

In addition to coming to worship the sacred objects and see the beautiful Chinese architecture of the shrine, in front of the shrine is a wide open terrace with a 180-degree view of the sea and beach of Hua Hin. Turn left and see the view of the fishing pier. Turn right and see the view of the beach stretching to Khao Takiab. It is very beautiful. There is also a walkway down to the beach.
