Since centuries ago, the Giant Swing has played an essential part in annual Hindu origin ceremonies that symbolically reenact elements from their stories.

Today’s giant swing can be found just outside Wat Suthat in Bangkok. First established in 1784 and renovated multiple times since, its current iteration dates from 2007.
