Wat Phra Nang Sang · Historic Buddhist Temple
Considered one of the oldest temples on the island, it blends Thai and Chinese influences and preserves tin Buddha statues, a reminder of Phuket's mining past.

Temple recognizable by its huge golden reclining Buddha of approximately 29 m installed on the roof, visible from the main road near the Heroines Monument.
Wat Kanan · Buddhist temple
