This temple, located next to the old governor's palaces of Phatthalung (now a museum), is one of the city's most important temples. The ordination hall, surrounded by a corridor plaza, is charming. It is currently undergoing renovation (as of July 2019) but can still be visited. The small courtyard is lovely, and the murals from the reign of King Rama IV depict scenes from the life of Buddha.

Likewise, a public bus must pass by; otherwise, you will have to rent a bicycle, a tuk-tuk, or a motorcycle taxi.

Wat Wang is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
