Wat Bang Thong

Reviewed By GerardMeeuwsen - Phang Nga, Thailand

Wat Bang Thong = Wat Mahatat Wachiramongkol (This is the short, local, name of the official name. Both are on tripadvisor, but itnis the same excellent temple.) As it is brand new, all decorations & paintings are in perfect condition! I wrote the review there before: "Just came back from it. They still continue working, and changes are coming fast! On weekends busloads with Thai people come to visit: organised by villagers, bring a monk with them. Many from area Nakhon Sitamarat. Interesting to see that families donate the robe and go around the main Buddha statue after praying with one of the available monks. On this Sunday we saw every 15 minutes new groups , maybe 10 at the time, going around with the orange robes/cloth. My guess would be 75 meter? There is a story that it is build for the new king Rama 10, partly donated by the father of the kings former wife. I would like to learn more about this temple. If I find out, will tell here. (I live nearby in Manora Garden, Phangnga.)" Worth the visit: 30 minutes from Phangnga or Ao Luk, 1 hour /1:15 from Krabi Ao Nang. A car is best, enough parking possibilities, good coffeeshop/snacks, very clean area. Since the main construction work is all finished, very easy to take beautiful pictures!

Wat Mahathat

Reviewed By PerryB137 - Hong Kong, China

This was a particularly interesting Wat at which to take photos and pore through one's guidebooks in order to reconstruct the fascinating history of both the ruins and the extant structures.

Wat Phra Thong

Reviewed By Adam_the_bookworm - Prague, Czech Republic

I greatly enjoyed my visit Wat Phra Thong. Its easy and fast to get there from any place in Phuket island and absolutely worth the trip. Take your time to read the legends about the Phra Thong statue.

Makes a good half-day trip together with a nearby Laem Sor Pagoda. We continued from the pagoda along the beach and found a nice secluded beach bar and restaurant with hammocks, solid meal and nice cocktails :)

Guan Im Sutham Temple

Reviewed By robert-not-home

If you have come to the River Kwai Bridge walk across it and visit this new and colorful temple. It is very nice and worth a bit of your time if you are in the area. It's a short walk across the bridge on your right - you'll see if from across the river and very easy to get to.

Buddha Thamaracha

Reviewed By 218marshalld

This wat is impressive as it is topped by a giant Buddha image. Inside is an informative museum/education center, and out back a beautiful lake with pagoda. The legend behind the Wat is really interesting. The whole thing is worth investing a few hours.

Reviewed By GeorgeAylesham

Similarly to many South East Asian waterside cities - Singapore the Merlion, Songkla the green naga - Nakon Phanom has a particularly fine gilded, seven-headed naga as its signature monument spurting water and clearly respected by the populace. Lots of photos opportunities here too by day or by night
