Wat Thepnimit (or Thep Nimit) is close 3km exterior Phuket town on the route to Chalong (Chao Fa Road) inwards Tambon (sub district) Wichit. You can't come across the temple from the road, though the entrance is quite obvious. The temple is behind Thepnimit School. When I visited yesterday morning, kids were arriving for school...
The temple was really quiet, every bit the local temples usually are. It's non a large temple, exactly every bit e'er I flora some points of involvement (if yous similar temples!). The principal edifice was locked, every bit they oft are - the local temples are non usually opened upwards 24-7.
Normally the temples get got a variety of bell tower. Here the bell was inwards something similar a pagoda, brightly painted with pictures of lotus flowers.
I had read on some other website a storey close a novel chedi built at Wat Thepnimit close iii years agone to household what is described every bit "Buddha’s relics". It seems many local people helped to cook this novel golden Chedi which is close viii meters high too really golden indeed!
The Monks houses hither looked really elementary too at that spot were cats too chickens running some all over the grounds.
You uncovering "holy trees" all over Thailand with stuff tied some them too Buddha images placed with the roots. Here's 1 at Thepnimit temple:
Some of those cats I mentioned decided I was worth following. Maybe they are used to soul bringing them food. One truthful cat would non sit down even too therefore for a photo. If I moved dorsum a meter to get got a picture, it followed...
Then flora a friend...
