Bangkok Map; Wat Sri Sunthon (Sri Sunthorn Temple)

First fourth dimension nosotros constitute Wat Sri Sunthorn was dorsum inward 2006. I had 1 of those days when I wanted to explore temples in addition to nosotros laid upwards out alongside a detail target inward mind. Phuket is total of temples, in addition to at that topographic point are nonetheless a few that nosotros accept never visited. In detail on that solar daytime wanted to notice Wat Phra Thong, where at that topographic point is a famous one-half buried Buddha image... We constitute it, in addition to it was duly blogged, but on the way, to the due south of Thalang Town (which used to the the principal town inward Phuket a pair of hundred years ago) nosotros also constitute Wat Sri Sunthorn in addition to were real glad nosotros did. I accept been dorsum several times since. It has never been crowded.

The temple is named afterward 1 of the 2 sisters, known equally the Heroines of Thalang - Thao Thep Kasattri in addition to Thao Sri Sunthorn who rallied the people of Phuket to fend off invading Burmese inward 1785. Actually at the time, their names were Chan in addition to Mook. Chan was the widow of the latterly deceased governor, in addition to then she in addition to her sis took accuse of Phuket's defences. Later King Rama I gave them these honorary names. The principal route upwards to the airdrome where this temple is located is called Thep Kasattri road.

There were several buildings inward the temple Earth in addition to lots of statues. The principal Wat has been unopen on the occasions I accept visited, but on top of some other edifice is a huge reclining Buddha which tin locomote seen from the route equally yous sweat past. The entrance to the temple has latterly been widened - it used to locomote visible exclusively downwards a narrow rails through the trees. There are steps upwards to the roof around the correct side of the building. Anyone visiting should withdraw shoes earlier going upwards - in addition to on a hot solar daytime the roof tin locomote quite hot!

We left a donation - at that topographic point are donation boxes for each solar daytime of the week, each alongside a pocket-size Buddha icon representing that solar daytime of the week.
