Why go, and how to do it well
Finding it is half the challenge. The building on Thanon Siri Phong fronts as a school, complete with a kindergarten on the premises, and the temple sits on the third floor above it. Walk in from the front gate and look right for the elevator. It's small and easy to miss. There's usually a cart out front selling flowers and worship items if you want to bring an offering.
Upstairs is a Vaishnavite temple with statues of Vishnu, Lakshmi and other deities, and the worship is real rather than staged for anyone with a camera. Chanting in Hindi, religious services, shrines in strong colors. Devotees tell a story about the Thai government helping bring the idols over from India, and the airlines carrying them without charge, which explains something about how this community sits within the city. If you've spent your Bangkok days in Buddhist wats, an hour here shifts the picture considerably.

Reviews from Google
Being an Indian Hindu, I wanted to visit this Temple and, I was astonished to know about how Thai Government helped get these idols from India and How they welcomed the idols at The airport . I deeply thank Thai Government and people of Thailand on behalf of all the people of India for showing this gratitude and showering this kindness. I also thank Thai Airways and Cathay Pacific Airways for bringing these idols here in Thailand without charging any fee. This is beautiful to know. Anyone following Hinduism, visiting Thailand, I would suggest a must visit place here to keep our relations with Thailand fresh and show our appreciation towards their good deeds and the best part , feel the blessings of Laxmi Narayan. And China town market is just 7 minutes walk from the temple. I felt the good vibes. It's a peaceful and calm place. The pandit ji Ajay Sharma ji from Himachal is also very good. Enjoy our tradition and spread happiness.

Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
Go Early Morning
Big-name temples are dramatically less crowded in the first hour after opening. You'll also avoid the worst of the midday heat and get softer light for photos.
