Jui Tui Shrine, Phuket Overview
Jui Tui Shrine is one of the most important temples on the island. It features red-washed exteriors and dragons constructed in honour of Tean Hu Huan Doy - the god of dancers and performers. Throughout the history of Phuket, the temple has been serving as a ground base for locals to celebrate the good and bad times. T firecracker house and fortune sticks are also located here.
This temple was originally nestled on Soi Romanee, which was later relocated to its current location because of a fire. The shrine in the temple dates back to the year 1911 and also houses the popular firecracker tower. This temple is also a site for the annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival where participants abstain from meat and indulge in bizarre and quirky ritualistic parades. There are colourful restaurants lined on the streets of Tha Ranong near the temple.
