Wat Phra Thong Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
WatPhraThong is a temple located on the island of Phuket. The main hall of this temple enshrines a half-length golden Buddha. The reason why it is half-length is because there is a legend that the real Buddha is underground and cannot be dug out. It is said that when the Burmese invaded Phuket, they had excavated and failed. The temple itself is a typical Thai-style building, with white wall tiles and golden roof tiles.
