Wat Phra Nang Sang, Buddhist temple in Thep Krasatti, Thailand

The central structure of Wat Phra Nang Sang features gold and red decorations, containing paintings that illustrate events from Buddha's life.

Built over 200 years ago, this temple served as a battlefield during the Burma War in 1785 when Thalang was the main city of Phuket Island.

Three ancient Buddha images, known as Phra Nai Phung and Phra Sam Kasat, reside within another Buddha statue at the temple complex.

The temple stands visible from the road to Phuket Airport, making it accessible by tuk-tuk, songthaew, or motorbike taxi from various points.

According to local tales, the temple's name originates from Lady Luad Khao, whose blood turned white upon execution after building this sacred place.
