Nearby, the Ta-ruar Shrine stood as a sanctuary for those seeking blessings of good health. Here, the colossal statue of Guan Yu, embodying honesty and integrity, captivated us with its grandeur. This awe-inspiring place set the stage for a remarkable day of exploration.

Our journey led us to Ban Kwai Uncle Nui, a sanctuary where a rare and endearing buffalo resides. Witnessing the playful antics of this chubby buffalo was a joyous encounter, and we had the opportunity to feed and even sculpt a beautiful buffalo souvenir. It was a magical connection with nature’s gentle giant, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the rural charm of the region.

At our final stop, Baan Li Phon Tai, we were treated to an enthralling shadow play, a traditional art form unique to Phuket. The graceful puppets brought stories to life, transporting us to a world of magic and wonder. The warm hospitality of the community was evident as we indulged in traditional desserts like Ko Sui and relished a delectable lunch served in a Hua Chan (pinto), featuring local delicacies such as Cave fish, Nam Chuop Yam, and Phak Miang in coconut milk soup. Quenching our thirst with Ma Mao soda drink was the perfect refresher.
