A pair of weeks agone I had a gratis Sabbatum afternoon, did non fancy staying home, in addition to was feeling inward the mood for a temple .. this used to locomote on a lot. Phuket has many Buddhist temples in addition to equally good enough of Chinese shrines in addition to mosques in addition to fifty-fifty a Sikh Gurdwara. When I started the spider web log inward 2006, I would regularly spider web log most dissimilar temples although (yes I know) most people in addition to readers of this spider web log don't actually assist much for temples! So temple-related spider web log posts are quite rare now. Well, anyway, I had this afternoon free. Daughter was busy amongst schoolhouse homework, my married adult woman stayed amongst her in addition to my man child bravely decided to come upwards amongst Dad on a temple visiting afternoon :) We headed towards Thalang, inward the essence of Phuket island, which used to hold upwards the principal population expanse earlier the tin dismiss mining smash of the 19th century led to the increment of Phuket Town in addition to Kathu. There are quite a lot of temples to a greater extent than or less Thalang in addition to I wanted to revisit several to larn novel photos in addition to update the pages on the blog.
We started at Wat Sri Sunthorn which is a fiddling southward of Thalang in addition to northward of the Heroines Monument. Sri Sunthorn was i of two sisters known equally the Heroines of Thalang who led the people of Phuket against a Burmese invasion inward 1785. The temple used to hold upwards difficult to spot from the road, only the entrance has been widened recently. There are multiple buildings, only the principal attraction is a pretty darn large reclining Buddha which sits on the roof.
Wat Phra Nang Sang which seems to convey had constant edifice function inward progress for years. It is said to hold upwards the oldest temple inward Phuket (or at to the lowest degree is built on the place of the oldest temple) in addition to is obviously where the people of Phuket gathered to struggle the Burmese 230 years ago. There are some older temple buildings in addition to a whole novel department that has been built since I was final at that topographic point inward 2006. The grounds are quite large, in addition to thence nosotros wandered to a greater extent than or less for a while. Was a hot 24-hour interval in addition to thence later on this temple nosotros had to terminate at a nearby 7-eleven for drinks :)
Wat Phra Tong (the route is four lane hither in addition to the entrance is on the southbound side of the road). Wat Phra Tong's principal attraction is a "half Buddha" ikon which has a mysterious history in addition to each fourth dimension I convey visited at that topographic point convey ever been a few people at that topographic point maxim prayers.
