This shrine is devoted to the goddess, Chao Mae Tubtim, a fertility spirit. There is a belief that a woman would get pregnant if she pays her respects to the Goddess by leaving offerings such as lotus and jasmine. If these women were successful in conceiving, they would return and place a phallus on the grounds of the shrine. This has resulted in today’s Shrine of the Goddess Tubtim, a vast collection of phalluses of all shapes and sizes.

When Joel’s not partaking in one of his shameless eating sessions, he likes to think of himself as a sponge – absorbing the mysteries and beauty of our world – be it through a good book or a wacky jaunt in a foreign country.
