Wat Hua Lamphong is known locally as the coffin temple because it provides coffins to those who can’t afford them. Visitors make merit by donating money to support this custom, and you are welcome to participate. When you make a donation, you’re making a meaningful connection with the community and being part of Thai-Chinese Buddhist culture. The act is believed to bring fortune and protection from harm while offering peace to deceased individuals without relatives in the afterlife.
