Question
Where to tie a Sai Sin in Phuket?
Insider's Response
There are several places where you can have a red string tied. One of the most famous temples in Phuket where they tie red bracelets is Wat Lipon, also known as the Temple of the reclining Buddha. This temple is located almost in the center of the island, near the Heroines’ Monument. It is famous for its 29-meter-long reclining Buddha statue, the largest in Phuket. The red bracelet is considered a good luck charm and a symbol of protection in Thai culture. Tourists and locals can visit the temple at any time of the day to receive their bracelet and make a donation.
You can also find artisans at local markets who perform this ritual, often accompanied by prayers.
Some spas offer this service, but not all, so it’s best to confirm availability before visiting.
