Lonely Planet review for Shrine of the Serene Light

A handful of Chinese temples inject some added colour into the area but the Shrine of the Serene Light, tucked away at the end of a 50m alley near the Bangkok Bank of Commerce on Th Phang-Nga, is a cut above the rest. You'll see Taoist etchings on the walls, the vaulted ceiling stained from incense plumes, and the altar is always alive with fresh flowers and burning candles. The shrine is said to have been built by a local family in the mid-1880s.

    A special little place

    timinphuket recommends this,

    This shrine is currently (March 2012) having some renovation so it is not perfect BUT it is a lovely small shrine to visit in Phuket Town. The entrance is not obvious - Siam Indigo (a restaurant) is on the other side of the road and South wind secondhand bookshop is close by. Please enter the shrine, taking off your shoes and paying respect - lovely - in fact there are more small shrines in Phuket Town to investigate.
