Buddhist temple Pa Klok

Wat Tha Sak is a sacred and tranquil haven on the eastern side of Phuket Island, where every visitor can find inner peace and harmony. The temple is nestled in lush greenery, surrounded by numerous large and small trees, creating an atmosphere of seclusion and serenity. Shady pathways and convenient walkways invite you to stroll around the grounds, enjoying the sounds of nature and the songs of birds.

A special place in the temple is occupied by a chedi containing the relics of the Buddha, which adds a unique sanctity to the site. The temple is spacious, resembling a forest where every corner is designed for meditation and reflection.

Along the pathway, you will find a pond and a fountain where you can sit and listen to the soothing sound of water, while friendly dogs roam the grounds, adding a sense of warmth and coziness to the temple’s atmosphere. A large pond also serves as an essential element in maintaining harmony and tranquility.

In each pavilion, separate activities are held, such as meditation, chanting mantras, and listening to the teachings of the Dhamma. The monks, following the true teachings of Lord Buddha, ensure discipline and cleanliness, creating the perfect environment for visitors.

The history of this temple commands particular respect. It was founded in 1987 by a monk from the north who transformed it from a washing temple into a place of spiritual peace and tranquility. Today, Wat Tha Sak is a well-managed and organized temple that attracts visitors with its sanctity and the opportunity to find inner peace.

This temple is the ideal place for those seeking solitude and spiritual development.
