'''Guan Yu Shrine''' or written as '''Gong Wu Shrine''' () is a historic [[joss house|shrine]] of [[Guan Yu]], god of war and faithfulness in [[Religion in China |ancient Chinese beliefs]]. Located in Khwaeng Somdet Chao Phraya, [[Khet Khlong San]], Bangkok's Thonburi side on the western bank of [[Chao Phraya River]].
This shrine is considered to be the oldest Guan Yu shrine in Thailand. Believed to be over 280 years old, built since the late [[Ayutthaya period]] in the reign of the King [[Borommakot]] (corresponding to the reign of [[Qianlong Emperor]] of Qing Dynasty) and said that before the King [[Taksin]] will do battle, he also came to worship at this shrine as well.

The shrine is just behind the [[Princess Mother Memorial Park]], near the foot of twin [[Memorial Bridge, Bangkok|Memorial]] and [[Phra Pok Klao Bridge]]s. The present shrine is in an octagonal pavilion under a pagoda roof with a praetorian guard of dragons, the symbol of the emperor, strength and wisdom. Dragons glide down the roof, coil round the pillars within the shrine and the ornamental lamp post outside. In the shrine, all three of Guan Yu's statues the first one is the oldest one that has been enshrined since the time when the shrine began to build, while the second one was brought in the reign of King [[Phutthayotfa Chulalok]] (Rama I) of [[Rattanakosin Kingdom]] and the third one was brought into the reign of King [[Phutthaloetla Naphalai]] (Rama II).<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
Moreover, another interesting thing of this place is Thang Nguan Hah Vintage House, a vintage house in [[Chinese architecture]] adjacent to each other. This house was formerly a [[fish sauce]] factory since the reign of King [[Chulalongkorn]] (Rama V), which is considered the first fish sauce factory in Thailand as well.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
