Wat Khao Rang Samakkhitham

The temple complex features a prominent golden Buddha statue positioned strategically to be visible from multiple locations throughout Phuket Town.

Established in 2004, the temple gained recognition for housing the first large Buddha statue constructed on Phuket Island before other monuments exceeded its size.

The temple walls display intricate paintings characteristic of Laotian Buddhist artistry, while mythological figures from Buddhist and Hindu traditions decorate the shrine halls.

Visitors can access the temple through a flight of stairs with traditional naga snake banisters, located 3 kilometers from Phuket Bus Terminal 1.

The temple grounds contain statues of Chalunsi, a character from Thai Ramayana mythology, positioned near the entrance to welcome visitors.
