Karon Temple (Wat Suwan Khiri Khet)

Karon Temple (Wat Suwan Khiri Khet)

Having worked for several years (2001 -2004) within walking distance of Karon Temple, you might think I'd have been for a look around before, but that was before this blog got started in 2006. Once the blog kicked off I explored a lot more! Phuket is full of temples, though many visitors here don't bother with them -after all, if you have stopped in Bangkok, chances are you've "done" temples already, but Phuket has some notable historical temples and every community has it's own temple. I find every temple has something different, but all have a certain peace about them. I took a walk around Karon Temple for the first time one day in December 2007 and have been again several times since.
