Put Jaw, Phuket

Put Jaw, Phuket

If you want to see the oldest Chinese temple in the city and touch history itself, you should make your way to the Put Jaw Temple. It is a historic and cultural landmark of Phuket. Many local stories and traditions are entwined with the temple. Put Jaw commemorates Kuan Yin, the Chinese goddess of mercy. Though it is not architecturally distinctive, the traditionally-built edifice is not simple either. If you want to help to preserve this temple, you can leave a donation and the guardian will ring in a bell to symbolize your action!
