Namaste
I have been to Bangkok, Thailand five times - I don't know how in the life of me I missed this temple shrine to Lord Indra. It is near the shrines of Erawan, Trimurti (Brahma, Shiva and Vishnu), the Lakshmi, Narayana and Ganesh Shrines.
It is a rare treat to find an Indra Temple. Per description:
This Shrine houses the image of the Hindu God, Indra who is in concept the supreme ruler of all the Gods. He is made of dark jade and the statue is some 80 meters east from The Erawan Shrine in front of the building called Amarin Plaza. Indra is regarded as the Diety that looks after mankind.
