Kathu is "my" surface area of Phuket. We alive inward this area, which is betwixt Patong together with Phuket Town. Actually Patong is officially included inward Kathu district, but .. Patong is a whole other world. Our Kathu is the to a greater extent than local surface area which you lot arrive at yesteryear heading over the colina from Patong towards Phuket Town. Some parts of Kathu are busy, some are repose together with large parts are residential. It's an interesting surface area to campaign to a greater extent than or less on a scooter together with come across some actual local life non far from the primary tourist beach. We visited Kathu temple (Wat Kathu) final calendar week on a hot sunny twenty-four hours for our daughters birthday, to tell a prayer.

It's a repose local temple, although it seems some tour minibuses run yesteryear this way, i arrived only every bit nosotros were leaving together with perchance at that topographic point are i every bit good many donation boxes! But the temple is really good looked after, the Monks hither evidently create got pride inward their temple. The smaller local temples are oft worth a visit.

We create take in temples for prayers directly together with then, I create got no sentiment what just to do, other than follow yesteryear example, commonly low-cal some incense together with position a bloom somewhere together with intend happy thoughts related to wellness together with happiness.
Kathu temple has quite a menagerie to a greater extent than or less the grounds. Must create got been nigh 20 dogs, at to the lowest degree that position out of cats, together with enough of chickens too. H5N1 unusual homo was at that topographic point feeding the dogs who evidently knew him together with crowded to a greater extent than or less him. Cats are every bit good cool to crowd to a greater extent than or less anyone, peculiarly on a hot twenty-four hours ...
H5N1 really peaceful place. And only 10-15 minutes campaign from the busiest house inward Phuket - Patong! This take in was for a happy occasion. The final fourth dimension I stopped at Kathu temple was for a funeral, RIP Ruedi.
