Aam Sam Kong (Lim Hoo Tai Soo Shrine) or Sam Kong Shrine, Awin Sam Kong (Sam Kong, Hun San Keng) is located at 306 Yaowarat Road, Sam Kong Market, Yaowarat Road, near Sam Kong Municipal School, Talat Yai Sub-district, Mueang, Phuket.

According to Aeng Jai Chen Ruea (interviewed on March 16, 2550, B.E.), this shrine was originally the land of Luang Sunthon Chinpracha (Tan Pai-un). Later, he gave the land to the Lim Hoo Tai Soo Shrine around 2462 BE by issuing a land title deed in the name of Muen Sam Kong (Tan Boon-seng) together with the Lim Hoo Tai Soo Shrine. Furthermore, the congregation appointed him as the manager of the shrine. The original shrine consisted of a cement floor with zinc walls and a thatched roof on wooden posts. Later, it was changed to a zinc roof and cement posts.

Around 2500 B.E., it underwent a transformation to a corrugated tile roof And It was completely demolished and rebuilt in 2537 B.E. In the same year, the shrine committee began to hold the first vegetarian festival, which continued until the present day.
