Wat Si Sunthon, Buddhist temple in Si Sunthon, Thailand

A 29-meter golden reclining Buddha statue rests on the roof of the main temple hall, visible from the road leading to Phuket International Airport.

The temple was constructed in 1792 during the reign of King Rama I to commemorate one of the sisters who protected Phuket from Burmese invasions.

The temple walls display detailed murals depicting scenes from Buddha's life, while the ceremonial hall houses an ornate seated Buddha statue.

The temple welcomes visitors daily from 7 AM to 5 PM, requiring modest clothing and removal of shoes before entering any buildings.

At the temple grounds, pink elephant sculptures stand alongside traditional demon figures known as Pret, which represent spiritual teachings about moral conduct.
