    A bit off the normal tourist path...this is a great stop. Large reclining budda inside the temple. Incredible views outside. Well worth the visit to the top.

    Spectacular views! What a location for this beautiful Temple. We went very early and the Temple itself wasn't open yet. Still we got to peak inside to large reclining Buddha. Peace and serenity will be found here if that's what you seek.

    A euphoric, magnificient view opens up before your amazed eyes as you climb up the top of the hill where Wat Ko Siray stands. The gorgeous, spectaculous panorama and red-yellow-golden splendour of the temple compete in attracting your insatiable attention. You are so much enchanted that your eager and lively perception wanders in divine ambiguity between spiritual indulgence of the temple and marvelling at the surrounding beauty. After a while, ะฐ bright abundance ofย  impressions get softly fused into the peaceful flowing of mind-and-soul elevation. The Wat Ko Siray temple complex consists of the two levels. ะ Pagoda and the monks' cells are at the foot of the hill. The temple and the gallery with Buddhas are on the top of the hill. The Siamese trees with yellow flowers, the pink bushes of bougainvillea and oleander thrive beutifully around. A winding road, lined with palms, dipterocarpus and tualang trees towering high up in the sky, leads to the top. In the gallery there are about fifteen seated and standing Buddhas shining with pearl-and-velvet gold. On the pre-temple altar there is the sacred inscription: Namo Tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammasambuddhassa. It means: Honour to the Blessed One, the Exalted One, the fully Enlightened One. There is also one more sutra meaning: Our pride and lust are the most severe hindrances. The Indian rose tree hangs beautifully over the altar platform. The reclining Buddha, great and enormous, big and huge, spreads calm, peacefulness and bliss around. Your soul gets filled with tranquil harmony. A spirit of rejoycement hovers above the temple, hill and the island. The revelation coming on you sharpens your mind and strengthens your body. . .

    Amazing view up there, not many people know about it. It's very quiet and secluded. Walking distance from the temple to the top.

    One of the biggest temples I have visited. The details of the architecture are impressive and the surrounding figures are impressive. It has many houses of monks and a central building where I imagine they receive classes or make large meetings. I recommend visiting this temple whit time because then if they take the road up they will be surprised at what they will see! Enjoy Phuket! Enjoy Thailand!

    A very nice little temple at the top of the hill, Myanmar origins , and the view from there is wonderful. Far from the tourist crowds, a very quiet place

๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ We were booked on a catamaran day tour with another company but they changed our tour to another day so we cancelled. We booked a tour with Seastar through a local tour desk - AS tours I think. We were picked up at our hotel and taken to the check in location. This was all a little disorganised but...
