'''San Chaopho Suea''' ({{langx|th|ศาลเจ้าพ่อเสือ}}, {{IPA|th|sǎːn t͡ɕâw.pʰɔ̂ː sɯ̌a̯|pron}}) is a ''khwaeng'' (subdistrict) of Phra Nakhon District, Bangkok.
==History== It is named after San Chaopho Suea, an ancient Chinese joss house of Xuanwu or "''Chaopho Suea''" (Tiger God) in Thai. It has been built since the King Nangklao (Rama III)'s reign in early Rattanakosin era. Originally it was situated on Bamrung Mueang Road, later in the King Chulalongkorn (Rama V)'s reign, it has moved to Tanao Road like today. The building of the joss house was built in the southern Chinese architectural style. Today, it is regarded as one of the most well-known and respected Chinese joss houses.<ref name=san>{{cite web|url=https://mgronline.com/travel/detail/9500000125664|work=ASTV Manager|language=thai|date=2007-10-23|accessdate=2019-11-07|author=Num Lukthung|title=ไหว้สิ่งศักดิ์สิทธิ์เสริมบารมี ที่ "ศาลเจ้าพ่อเสือ"|trans-title=Pay respect to sacred items at "San Chaopho Suea"}}</ref>
