As promised, we returned to Bangkok to give thanks to four face Buddha as he has granted our wish for a child. We booked for a 3 days 2 nights trip so we can unwind ourselves during the trip.
We set off on 31st May, which is a Friday and reached there at about 4pm. The moment we drop our luggage in the hotel, we immediately set off to our 1st destination which is Erawan Shrine. The weather isn't good, as when we reach there it was drizzling. But that didn't fail us to give our prayers to him. How people give thanks to him is inviting dancers to dance in front of his statue. We can have a choice of 2 , 4, 6 or 8 dancers. We chose to have 4 dancers and we knelt down in front of him while the dancers are dancing behind us and chanting.
After settled our thanks giving ceremony, we continue to buy some prayers stuffs to pray again. The drizzles is getting heavier but that hasn't dampen our mood for the praying session. I admit this time I didn't get myself prepared for the prayer as in how should we go about praying and which direction to start off the praying session. The four faces represent different things but I only remembered the side which I have wished for a child and so I continue to wish the same on the same side of the statue. Though the 1st time we didn't wished for a gender of our child but he has given us a son, so this time we wished we could have a girl. Hope he could grant us our second wish!

It's different amount for engaging different numbers of dancer. There will be someone there to help with the process.
