Wat Suwan Kiriwong You cannot miss Wat Patong as you will drive by when arriving from airport. It's a nice temple but surprisingly not very popular with locals .

The Wat Suwan Khiri Wong, commonly known as the Patong temple, is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike. This ancient Buddhist temple, located in the heart of lively Patong, provides a perfect blend of tranquility and modern bustle. With its convenient location only 15 minutes away from Patong Town, visitors can take full advantage by renting a bike to explore the surrounding area. The 17 rais of the temple features a huge ordination hall, an open hall for sermon listening, residential quarters for monks, a 4 storey bell tower, and a shrine hall – all while the locals manage their daily lives nearby with fresh fruits and vegetables from the market. The best time to visit is at dawn when the local monks are walking in. Whether you’re looking for some peace and quiet or a glimpse into the bustling life, Wat Suwan Khiri Wong should be on your list of places to visit.
