There were times when amulets were particularly popular. Years ago, there was a real craze for the palm-sized amulets called "Jatukham Rammathep." The origin of this movement lay here in Nakhon Si Thammarat, where numerous auspicious Buddha statues can still be found today, which might be worth a visit.

Pho Than Khali, the esteemed monk of Wat That Noi or Wat Suan Khan, is often asked for merit due to his inspirational speeches, his kindness, and the miracles he has performed. Phra Ad Phra Sangkajai or Budai of Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan is located in the town center of Pak Phanang. Pak Phanang lies on the banks of the river of the same name and is a monsoon-prone area, which is why the locals are always vigilant.

This is a region steeped in tradition, whose local charm, especially its Thai seafood dishes, delights visitors year-round. Wat Phra Mahathat Woramahawihan, the most important Buddhist temple in Nakhon Si Thammarat, houses the famous and highly revered chedi containing the relics of Buddha. Registered as a historical site, it is among the most well-known and sacred places in the province.
