Message from Nicole Carter

Wat Tha Rua Tha Rua Shrine is well kept, and has many interesting and colorful sculpture Chinese figures. It contains a Buddha image which it is believed helps cure people's illnesses. Some also go there to pray about problems in their life. Ceremonies held here include Sae Yid Day and a host of events during the yearly 9 day Vegetarian Festival. The shrine is dedicated to Pra Po Seng Tai Te. Life Saving God or God of Doctor. If driving towards Phuket Airport on Thepkasattri Road, you will see the Thai Rua on your right, a few minutes drive before you reach Heroines Traffic Monument.
