Buddhist temple · Thalang, Phuket
Entirely white temple with finely carved decorations, sometimes nicknamed the "White Temple" of Phuket as a nod to the one in Chiang Rai. Still little known to tourists.
Wat Kanan is an entirely white temple with finely sculpted ornaments, which some call the "White Temple" of Phuket in reference to the one in Chiang Rai. Still little known to tourist circuits, it offers a peaceful atmosphere. The bright facades and carved details make it a very good photo subject, especially in the morning. For visitors looking for an original temple off the beaten path.
Our local tip
Covering clothing; morning light brings out the white for photos.
