Wat Phra Nang Sang : Phuket, Thailand

Phra Nang Sang Temple is located just before the intersection near Thalang Baan Ta-Kien. It is opposite the entrance to Khao Pra Taew Wildlife Conservation Center. It is said that this old temple was built just after the War of Nine troops during the period of the two heroines of Phuket (Tao-Tao-Tepkasadtree and Srisunthorn). Although others say it was built in the period Pranang-Leud-Khaow (white blood princess).

For me it is the temple that my family is most familiar to us at every special occasion like New Years Day, Songkran, etc. This year, my family has also come here for the anniversary of the death of my grandfather . So I have a chance to take a walk around the temple again. Somewhere, the circumstances of the temple has changed too.

Many new buildings replace a pleasant space to the exclusion of trees from the church that the Department of Fine Arts serves. There is also a new church, it is very elegant and enormous. Historical murals, including the drafting of beauty queens from each day of the week are listed in.
