Chao Fah Power Station

This site on Chao Fah West Road was the power station of an important tin ore processing site. When its equipment was upgraded, the original generator was repurposed to provide Phuket’s first mains power grid. Set in the island’s verdant hinterland, this vestige of an almost forgotten industrial past has been used as a period film set. The works installed here examine histories of extraction, the colonial logic that informed it, and the cultures of resistance and ingenuity that emerged from it.
