Wat Phra Nang Sang - Phuket’s Oldest Temple - Thailand 2022
Wat Phra Nang Sang was built more than 200 years ago and was originally known as Wat Takian and is the oldest Thai temple in Phuket. This temple was built when Thalang was the main city of Phuket Island and even was the scene of a battlefield during the Burma war in 1785.
Everything is designed with mixed Chinese and Thai mythology influences. The legend goes that Lady Luad Khao, the spouse of the ruler of Nakhon Si Thammarat, was condemned to death for having a love affair. Before the execution, she asked the last favor to travel to Sri Lanka to pay last respect to the relics of Lord Buddha. She built this temple when she returned, hence Wat Phra Nang Sang, which means ‘built by the Royal Lady’. The story goes that when she was executed, her blood was white, and she became known as Phra Nang Luad Khao, the lady with white blood.
The most important elements in Wat Phra Nang Sang are three ancient Buddha images called Phra Nai Phung, meaning ‘abdomen Buddha image’ and Phra Sam Kasat ‘Three King Buddha image’, which are enshrined in the abdomen of another Buddha statue.
The origin and history of this temple is very interesting. It’s worth a little bit of your time if you are in the area.
