Wat Khao Rang

Wat Khao Rang is a Buddhist temple located in the town of Phuket, in Thailand. The Temple welcomes new visitors and site-seers everyday by the hundreds. Being expansive and surrounded by foliage and lush greenery, Wat Khao Rang never gives the impression of being overcrowded ever. You can move about freely in its spacious pavilions and there are many photo opportunities to be made use of here. Once inside the temple you can marvel at the different murals that line its walls and stare in awe at the different statues of Buddha that decorate its halls. You will find these idols and the different art styles in which they are made, and how the Buddha is interpreted by the hands of different craftsmen through the ages. It is a spiritual and a cultural visual experience and you cannot miss out on visiting this beauteous temple on your visit to Phuket. The temple is located on Khao Rang hill, and is one of the temples of note here in Thailand. It is a place of worship and pilgrimage for the Thai people, so you can get to see the people in their humblest while paying this place a visit, while they make credit that is to say give fresh food in alms at the statues. The defining feature is the golden statue of Buddha, not the biggest in Thailand but still known for the finesse and quality of work put in to make it. You get to see it on the staircase that leads up to the temple on the hill. The climb is not very arduous and is surrounded by beautiful scenery; a treat for the eyes.
