Wat Phra Thong is not very large but it’s a pleasant place to visit. The main attraction is the half-buried golden Buddha image which is said to be untouchable as every person who has tried to dig it out is reported to have been cursed. Legend has it that a boy who tied his buffalo to an object that looked like a post fell ill and died, along with the buffalo. His father went to check the post and it turned out to be part of a buried Buddha image. One of the island’s oldest temples, it received a visit in 1909 by King Rama VI, who gave it its official name. Opening Hours: Daily from 8am to 5.30pm Location: Thep Krasatti, Thalang, Phuket 83110, Thailand Tel: +66 (0)93 621 4687
