Phuket Temples Tour

Home Excursions in Phuket Phuket Temples Tour

Thailand has a rich history and culture with its unique life and traditions. Thais are very fond of everything related to religion, which is impossible not to notice in the number of beautiful Buddhist and Taoist temples on this island. Local shrines are amazing in their luxury and wealth – amidst the abundance of gold and precious stones, you can also notice the ingenuity with which the numerous paintings, mosaics and other elements of the temple are made inside and outside.

Keep in mind that Thais demand respect for the religious component of their lives, so when visiting temples you should follow a number of rules. To visit the temples you must dress modestly and discreetly, without exposing knees, shoulders and cleavage. Before entering the temple be sure to remove sunglasses, hat and shoes. By the way, in most temples you can rent suitable clothing such as a scarf or skirt for a small fee. There are so many temples in Phuket, but any tour should definitely include the main ones: Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, Wat Khao Rang, Wat Pra Nang Sang, Wat Phra Thong, Wat Sri Sunthorn.
