Kiew Tian Keng Chinese Shrine
Kiew Tian Keng Chinese Shrine was (when I first wrote this blog) a small quiet Chinese Shrine at the South end of the island in Sapan Hin.
Since I wrote this I have found out that Sapan Hin is a thriving community and is embraced by all the local people - then it is where the finale of the Vegetarian Festival is, popular for food fairs, a Chinese Shrine Tour and even once a year is part of a Motorsport Rally!
The beauty of may of these Chinese Shrines is the upkeep of them - they are always being tended when I visit. Actually the only time I see the dirt is when the figures are returned to the Shrines after taking part in a Vegetarian Festival parade!
The outside of the shrine has recently taken delivery of a number of large stone Chinese figurines.
Then there are the hanging bells which are very common in Buddhist Wats as well. Start at one end and then ring each bell in turn and this will bring you good luck and a blessing.
After this you can enter the very carefully adorned shrine (remembering to remove your shoes) - we visited on a very special day where there was a number of prayers being chanted by these two people dressed in white, something that I had not seen previously and not seen again.
We shook the sticks - Jemma love to do this - and then we threw the Moon Blocks (or Bwa Bwei 擲筊 Divination Blocks).
After this we lit the Joss stick and then stepped outside and burnt the paper offerings.
It was here that you find an enormous Female Chinese statue of the Goddess Guanyin and the beauty of this is that there is a building devoted to her and not what I normally see which is a part inside the shrine.
After a short prayer and the lighting of more incense we left to visit a local restaurant - รานสมตำเมองคอน สะพานหน - for some fabulous local food (review coming here).

Sapan Hin - Local Food Market and more
Sapan Hin is an interesting place to visit and there is always a lot of different things happening BUT we always visit here to buy some Local food from the stalls in the Car Park.
The deep fried chicken is wonderful but maybe not the whole chicken?
There are a great deal more dishes which seem to be popular with the Local people!
The sausages are the best!
We saw 'crocodile accessories' for sale once!
We have seen the local people collect shells whilst the tide is out.
There is a klong which leads in to the interweaving klongs throughout Phuket Town.
there is more than just this -
Sapah Hin - Paramotoring
Sapan Hin - Naval Museum
Sapan Hin - musical fountain
Sapan Hin - Kiew Tian Keng Chinese Shrine
Sapan Hin - Fun Fair
