Thailand is famous for its rich history and Buddhist culture with unique lifestyles and ancient traditions. The Thai people deeply love and honor all that is connected to religion, which is evident from the many beautiful Buddhist and Taoist temples in Phuket and its surroundings.
Local temples amaze with their splendor and richness – amid the abundance of gold and precious stones, you can see the intricate creativity in the paintings, mosaics, and other temple elements.
Thais require respect for the religious aspect of their lives, so when visiting temples, you must follow certain rules: dress modestly, covering knees, shoulders, and chest, and remove sunglasses, hats, and shoes before entering.
In most temples, you can rent appropriate clothing, such as a scarf or skirt, for a small fee.
