Wat Mongkhon Nimit, Buddhist temple in Talat Yai district, Phuket Town, Thailand
The temple features eleven smaller pagodas surrounding a central chedi, with a main hall decorated in red and gold colors displaying Buddha statues.
Founded in 1880 as Wat Klang, the temple received its current name Wat Mongkhon Nimit in 1953 when it gained status as a royal temple.
The temple functions as a school for monks, hosting ceremonies and providing education about Buddhist principles through signs in Thai and English.
Located near Thalang Road and accessible via Soi Romanee, the temple stands 0.8 kilometers from Central Phuket, making it convenient for visitors.
During renovations, workers discovered a hidden golden Buddha image from the Sukhothai period that had been concealed to protect it from theft.
