That's a Hindu shrine, not a Buddhist shrine.

I am fighting hard to find an English language source.

Google translation would be "Phra Phichit", Bang Chan Temple, Bangkok

As is easy seen it's a Ganesha shrine.

 

The temple is officially named "Wat Rat Satthatham (Bangchan)".

Yes but seemingly within a Buddhist temple.

I am not an expert but those religions mix quite liberally here.

It's not unusual to find a Hindu shrine within a Thai Buddhist temple. The two religions have been blended together to such an extent that many Thais don't differentiate between the two. In fact, some Thais even argue that Ganesha is a "Buddhist god," while some maintain that Buddha is a Hindu god incarnated.
