Open the appSui Boon Tong Shrine
Chinese shrine · Phuket Town, Phuket
Taoist shrine with yellow walls in the old town, a major venue for the Vegetarian Festival featuring fire walking and processions.
Built from 1967, Sui Boon Tong (also called Lorong Shrine) hosted its first Vegetarian Festival in 1977. Inside, a golden statue dominates the main altar in a sculptured and painted frame, surrounded by embroidered banners and golden lions. It is one of 39 shrines participating in the festival, with fire walking and a procession on the last day. On the terrace, rub the belly of the Laughing Buddha for prosperity.
Our local tip
Remove your shoes, ask before photographing worshippers, and wear white if you come during the Vegetarian Festival (October).
