Open the appWat Charoen Samanakij (Wat Lang San)
Buddhist temple · Phuket Town, Phuket
Modern nine-tiered temple on the slopes of Toh Sae Hill, each level symbolizing a stage toward enlightenment.
Built in 2012 on a site founded in 1951, this temple stretches across nine levels, with the main ordination hall and a large Buddha at the summit. Small shrines, pavilions and gardens line the climb. The original ubosot from 1968 is hidden 300 m to the east. It's also called 'Wat Lang San', the temple behind the courthouse.
Our local tip
Climb to the top level for the main hall, then look for the original 1968 ubosot 300 m to the east; wear clothing covering shoulders and knees.
