Tips from locals
Wat Khao Rang (or Sumnak Song Khao Rang) enjoys a great location in Phuket Town, on the slope of the popular Rang Hill. It has a large golden sitting Buddha – the first of its kind on the island and the spiritual centre of the island for many locals. This temple is busy at weekends when locals pay a visit. It not only looks amazing but was also the first big Buddha image Phuket had until the giant Buddha was built in the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata. Wat Khao Rang grounds are divided into 2 areas: the original building supporting the sitting Buddha on its roof, with its back against the green hillside, and the new temple next to it. Opening Hours: Daily from 8am to late afternoon Location: Khao Rang Hill, Muang, Phuket 83000, Thailand Tel: +66 (0)76 222 520
