The Shrine of the Cobra Queen and the Kids

The Shrine of the Cobra Queen and the Kids located at Rama2 Rd (Soi 48) is another shrine that many people come to praise – and hopefully bring good luck. Over 30 years, the legend of the Shrine of the Cobra Queen was talked about. Starting with the building of the Rama 2 road, and after building to 5-6th pole, a strange incident occurred.

One worker dreamt that the Cobra Queen came to ask for 7 more days because she's pregnant and would like to bear the baby first and then move to other place. The worker panicked and then got up and told of the incident to his leader. But the leader believed that it's just a dream and let that worker continue doing his job.[+]
