Thai Temple – Phuket Town

Wat Khosit Wiharn is a Mahanikaya sect temple in Talat Yai, Phuket, covering approximately 134,916 square meters. Established in 1902 by Father Than Rot, it started as a tent at the foot of a mountain, evolving through community support. Initially named Wat Khok Saeng for a large Saeng tree, it was later renamed Wat Khosit Wiharn. The temple features a Sala Karn Parian built in 1963 and 13 monk residences. Notable religious artefacts include a replica of the Buddha’s footprint and a 1.50-meter brass statue of Phra Sangkachai.
