Sri Guru Singh Sabha Sikh Temple: Visit Bangkok’s Welcoming Little India Gem

The Sri Guru Singh Sabha Temple is located in Little India, not far from the bustling streets of Chinatown in Bangkok. Built in 1932 for the Indian Sikhs who emigrated to Thailand, the temple stands out with its striking white gate and golden domes. The interior is simple, but it’s fascinating to see a Sikh temple from the inside—quite different from the Buddhist temples you’ll find throughout Bangkok and near Chinatown.

Everyone is welcome to enter, regardless of your background. The dress code is similar to that of Thai temples: shoulders and knees should be covered. Additionally, both men and women are required to cover their heads; scarves are available for free at the entrance. Even if it feels a bit strange to just walk in, don’t worry—the people here are very welcoming and visitors are warmly received.

Every morning, anyone who wishes can enjoy a free vegetarian breakfast (usually an Indian curry). It’s a unique opportunity to experience Sikh culture up close while exploring the vibrant neighborhoods of Bangkok, including nearby Chinatown.

Entry: Free
Open: Daily
Location: Chakkraphet Road, Little India
