Chinese shrine · Phuket Town, Phuket
Small shrine built in 1889 by a Hokkien family, hidden at the end of a narrow alley in Old Town, with colorful interior and sculptured woodwork.
The Serene Light shrine (Saeng Tham) was built in 1889 by a Hokkien family. It is hidden at the end of a narrow alley off Phang Nga Road, making it a small discovery. Its Hokkien-style roof and interior walls painted with Chinese legends are remarkable. A short and charming visit during a walk through Old Town.
Our local tip
Look for the small passage between the shophouses on Phang Nga Road; ideal in late afternoon when light illuminates the facade.
