    Vegetarian Festival Lived with the people of Phuket for a long time. more than a hundred years Vegetarian diet started from The opera troupe is from China. to show at Kathu District and having a vegetarian ceremony there for the first time Due to the outbreak of epidemics, a lot of people died and got sick. but it is strange None of the people in the opera troupe were sick. after an inquiry The opera troupe worshiped Chinese gods and ate vegetarian food, abstained from meat, and performed fasting for nine days and nine nights. and a miraculous event occurred that made the villagers in that area recover from the plague. And it was asked that the opera troupe to convey the complete vegetarian ritual. Money was then raised for the opera troupe to travel back to China to bring the ritual and vegetarianism back to Phuket. Three months later, after the villagers had waited in despair, a junk boat arrived at the sa-phan -hin bridge. and someone from the opera came back with Statues of gods and incense burners have been brought to Kathu District, where vegetarian events will be held on the calendar on the first day of the ninth lunar month of every year, and the tradition of vegetarianism in Phuket is well known to foreign countries. Every year, Thai and foreign tourists come together to dress in white. to participate in the vegetarian festival It is another important highlight of Phuket Province.

    The biggest shrine in Phuket. It’s quite when it is not during vegetarian festival. But during the festival, it is the most crowded shrine. Especially at night because it will host a ceremony to dispel your bad luck. Thousands of people will gather in this tiny place. On the street to the shrine, there are vegetarian shops. You must try ปลาเค็มเจ salted fragmented fish (vegetarian version). It is the best and you can’t find this menu when it isn’t during the festival.

    As you approach the entrance, admire the carvings and detailed murals on the grey marble walls outside. Inside, you wander through several colourful halls with an array of deities, paintings and flags. It's beautiful and I felt so ignorant not knowing more about these religions, when I watched the devotees streaming in and out, shaking the "fortune sticks" and lighting incence sticks. The place is so rich in colour and symbolism. Amazing.

    It is also one of the best, nicest and wonderful place to visit in Phuket, Thailand. It is a Chinese temple. It is huge, with curved and triangle shaped roofs, colorful with decorative and attractive designs. Religious ceremonies continues non stop here. You feel totally a stranger here. The chinese devotees are found in white clothes on which something has been written. Eventhough no guides available, you are allowed to enter the temple. Crackers are fired every now and than at the entrance. Its a good and holy place. I was there in October 18. I liked it. I am impressed by it.

    There is a great confusion about this shrine and Wat Put Jor on internet and in Google maps too. These places have currently very different rating but many of their photos are photos of the other. That's not only because these two places are next to each other. Jui Tui shrine is in fact a large annex to Put Jor temple. It was built a century later but they are essential the same object. So that I'm going to rate them as one. It's a nice and colorful Chinese worship place. It's not a tourist attraction, it's real. And even though it's far away from being the most interesting shrine I've ever seen, it's always good to have a quiet and peaceful place like this around so I think it deserves 4 stars.

  • 5/5 Joanna S. 4 years ago on Google
    During the Vegetarian Festival this is the place to be, it seems to be the number one Chinese Shrine in town. At least its processions are the biggest and the loudest. At times of the Festival the shrine and the whole area are very crowded and noisy, so it's almost impossible to walk around and admire every corner of the complex. Be sure to wear white clothes if you don't want to be the only colorful one in the crowd. And it's more than advisable to bring earplugs, because the fire crackers are a main feature of the festivities. Some people wear a face mask to protect their lungs from the smoke of the fire crackers. As for myself I didn't notice any advantage of the mask, the smoke gets anywhere. It's an amazing, intriguing and magical place!

  • 5/5 Nihal A. 1 year ago on Google
    It is the biggest Chinese temple in Phuket Old Town. While it looks grandiose from the outside, it is actually quite small once we step in. Fun fact - this is the temple that hosts the famous Vegetarian Festival for 9 days every year in November in Phuket. This is based on the tradition that eating vegetables helped eliminate a cholera outbreak in Phuket.

    I passed by this temple few times, I was thinking maybe I can go and check it out, I saw the post hanging on the wall that is guanyin her birthday, so before I went to the temple I went to fruit shop buying some fruit as a gift for guanyin and pray for our family health and safety, this temple is very traditional and beautiful.

    Phuket has a large percentage of Chinese residents descended from southern China a few centuries ago. These influences are evident in the number of Chinese temples and shrines around the island. This Is a popular Chinese temple that plays a pivotal part in the annual Phuket Vegetarian Festival. Located on Soi Phuthorn, Ranong Road. Enjoy Phuket! Enjoy Thailand!!

  • 3/5 Alvin L. 4 years ago on Google
    I was told that this is the biggest temple in Phuket with big celebrations for the vegetarian festival which essentially is the festival honouring the Nine Emperor God. This is indeed a very big temple, physically as well as in terms of the number of devotees and visitors. They have a very big and impressive kitchen cooking up endless servings of vegetarian dishes and steamed rice and u can see the never ending queue of devotees for the free flow vegetarian food. They have generous corporate donations of many big sacks of rice and big tubs of cooking oil. But somehow, it lacks that "kampung spirit" .
