The origins of this temple is shrouded in myths and tales; some claim that a Thai ruler built it for his wife. Others state that it was constructed in honour of a princess who was wrongly framed and executed, and shed\u00a0white blood at her death, giving rise to an alternative\u00a0name of the temple:\u00a0Wat Luad Khao (White Blood Temple).<\/p>\n<p>Ornate and coloured in rich hues, the sprawling compounds of the temple are a joy to explore. Take your time to explore the grounds, keeping your eyes peeled for statues of a reclining Buddha, revered monks and Phuket&#8217;s celebrated heroines, Lady Chan and Lady Mook.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WAT_SRISOONTHORN\"><\/span>WAT SRISOONTHORN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Step into the grounds of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com.sg\/Attraction_Review-g297937-d7077084-Reviews-Srisoonthorn_Temple_Lipon_Temple-Thalang_District_Phuket.html\">Wat Srisoonthorn<\/a><\/strong>, and your eyes will be drawn towards the striking sight of a large, golden Buddha statue in a reclining position. Nine smaller Buddha images sit nearby, all positioned differently to face the entrance of the temple.<\/p>\n<p>It is interesting to explore the significance of the reclining position of the Buddha statue. This pose is of immense importance to Buddhists as it represents Lord Buddha in a stage of dreaming, which occured after he stopped a six-year long duration of self-mortification. At this point, he had a dream which made him realise that he was enlightened and ready to offer help to ease the sufferings of others.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src-thumbnail=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WAT-THAM-TA-PAN-150x150.jpg\" src-medium=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WAT-THAM-TA-PAN-300x167.jpg\" src-large=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WAT-THAM-TA-PAN.jpg\" src-full=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WAT-THAM-TA-PAN.jpg\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-layzr=\"http:\/\/blog.villa-phuket.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/WAT-THAM-TA-PAN.jpg\" alt=\"WAT THAM TA PAN\" title=\"\" height=\"251\" width=\"450\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1180 aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WAT_THAM_TA_PAN\"><\/span>WAT THAM TA PAN<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Embark on an eye-opening journey through heaven and hell at the unique <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tripadvisor.com.sg\/Attraction_Review-g303917-d7287957-Reviews-Wat_Tham_Ta_Pan_Temple-Phang_Nga_Phang_Nga_Province.html\"><strong>Wat Tham Ta Pan<\/strong><\/a>. There is an air\u00a0of spookiness to the temple, heightening\u00a0its fear factor. The temple offers representations of heaven and hell in two settings. A Chinese dragon guards the entrance of a cave that signifies heaven. Emerge from this cave, and you will find yourself in &#8220;hell&#8221; &#8211; a garden filled with statues depicting gory scenes of torture and suffering. The images are impressionable, and the atmosphere eerie, so this attraction may not be suitable for families travelling with young children.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"WAT_BIANG_RANG\"><\/span>WAT BIANG RANG<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A cultural exploration of Phuket does not have to be limited to the grounds of the island.
