Sangtham Shrine

43594 Phang Nga Road, Talat Yai, Phuket Town

It is a small shrine, yet it is held in high regard by the local community. This shrine is known by several names, including the Tengkong Tong Shrine, the Sing Jia Gong Shrine, and the Am Teng Kong Tong. It was founded in 1891 by Phra Amornt Nararak (Dun Duat) to enshrine Chinese deities that the ancestral lineage has revered from the beginning. The Saeng Tham Shrine features architectural design that reflects Chinese cultural influences, exhibiting elegance with its small pagoda-like structure adorned with plaster dragon motifs and popular Chinese figurines, which are commonly found in Fujian Province. Inside the shrine, the walls on both sides are decorated with black line paintings within square frames, narrating the legend of "Si Yin Gui," which is connected to the deity Ong Sun Tai. In 1997, the Saeng Tham Shrine received a prestigious conservation award from Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, as selected by the Association of Siamese Architects under Royal Patronage, for its excellent preservation efforts. Subsequently, in 1999, a major renovation of the shrine was undertaken to celebrate its 109th anniversary. Location: Panga Road, Mueang District, Phuket Province.
