Te Kun Tai Te - Baan Pa Sak Shrine in Phuket

Te Kun Tai Te - Baan Pa Sak Shrine

In 1972, Mr. Prom Suebprasit was faithful in God Te Kun Tai Te and he donated a land to construct a shrine. Villagers helped to build and installed God Te Kun Tai Te as the president of the shrine.
Later, there were more four Buddha images as Pra Lee Lo Sia, Pra Bok Sia, Pra Ang Ha Yhee and Pra Ien Tien Song Te. And on 21st June, 1978, a new shrine building was raised instead of the old one. People helped to build it until nearly completion now.

The architecture was created in Keng Chinese design as same as the other shrine. The president image was sitting while his left hand was holding a book “Soon Siw” (Season Book) with an aggressive red face, long mustache, big body size and his right hand holding a weapon which was a halberd.
