Chinese Shrine · Phuket Town, Phuket
Shrine dedicated to Jor Su Kong, the black-faced healer god, at Phuket Town's clock roundabout (Surin Circle).
The shrine honors Jor Su Kong, an 11th-century Fujian monk revered as a healing god, whose sandalwood statue is entirely black. Brought from China by tin miners, it survived a fire—a detail locals consider significant. The current building dates from the 1920s. Golden dragons adorn the columns and a large golden incense burner stands in the courtyard.
Our local tip
Allow 15 minutes and combine with nearby Yameay Mosque, Bang Neow Shrine, and Saphan Hin Park.
