Thian Fah Hospital, Bangkok

Thian Fah Hospital is a hospital established by the Chinese in the Chinatown of Bangkok. It operated by the Thian Fah Foundation. Also within the compound of the hospital is a highly elaborate Chinese temple dedicated to Kuan Im, the goddess of mercy. The temple has a portico supported by bright red pillars. The roof ridge curves upwards and embellished with dragons and other mystical beasts, created from porcelain.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
