Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Perched high on a hill in the Kathu district near Patong, this active Buddhist temple offers something rare in Phuket's busier tourist areas: absolute tranquility combined with breathtaking panoramic views of the city and sea. Its elevated position makes it stand out among the island's temples, and the surrounding scenery from the temple grounds more than rewards the effort of the climb.

Visitors can expect a clean, spacious complex in the traditional Thai Buddhist style, adorned with ornate gold details and a tranquil atmosphere. Monks live nearby, and local worshippers perform their daily prayers. The grounds are peaceful, even by temple standards, making it ideal for those seeking moments of reflection away from the coast. Sunrise and sunset are particularly captivating, when the light over the city and sea further enhances the ambiance.
