Phuket Buddhist Temples
Wats And Temples In Phuket
Most of Phuket's population is Thai-Buddhist and there are close to 40 Buddhist Temples (or 'wat' in Thai) located all over the island. Some wats are quite new but some have a long history going back more than 100 years or even longer.
Such places include Wat Pra-nang Sang and Wat Srisoonthorn in Thalang, Wat Karon and the most famous wat in Phuket, Wat Chalong.
Besides admiring their beautiful architectural features, visitors will also learn from just a short visit about the strong connection between wats and the island's everyday life; an experience not to be missed.
