Wat Kathu This small but beautifully decorated set of temple is rarely visited as it is inside Kathu, a village located a bit away from the main Phuket Town - Patong road.

Wat Kathu, nestled amongst the lush green landscape of Phuket, is an intimate oasis for visitors looking to explore the island's spiritual heritage. The Buddhist monastery astonishes with its red and gold architecture, as well as the intricate decoration and sculptures that adorn the interior. As one of the most revered temples in southern Thailand, faithful locals will come here to pay their respects and seek solace. Inside the storehouse, visitors can find few donations boxes, which would be greatly appreciated by monks and priests; even the local fauna are well taken care of here, with cats, chickens and dogs roaming around the lawn just outside. So if you’re looking for a unique way to experience the peace and tranquillity of Phuket, why not make the pilgrimage to Wat Kathu?
