Although they are the
same temples you might visit on the mainland, Phuket temples have a local flavor
that is subtle, but still very noticeable. Many temples feature characters
from Phuket’s past and house statues and items significant to Phuket’s
development. Here temples much more an integral part of the local community
than in other parts of the country, as such they are the center of a
considerable amount of activity you might not normally associate with a
temple.
