Before the Big Buddha, this temple was known for the largest Buddha statue in Phuket. It is located at the foot of Khao Rang Mountain and you have to climb steep steps to get to it. The stairs are decorated with two huge snakes – Nagi, and the entrance to the temple is guarded by various demons – intimidating Yakshas, demigods and giants with great power.
