San Chao Saengtham — Attraction in Ratsada

The temple itself is very nice however i visited a few months ago and was screamed at and told to leave the temple by the caretaker . I was covered up and took my shoes off ,ive been to many beautiful temples in Thailand and took photos ,there was no signs in the temple to say no photographs which i would have obviously respected if i had known, the second i took my camera out the caretaker started screaming and swearing at me and hitting himself in the head i jumped as i was so scared and confused at his reaction and my shoulder fell out of my scarf which i quickly covered up again and that was it he was screaming at me to get out,i apologised but i was left shaking and embarrassed ,it ruined my day i was so upset ,this seems like a common occurrence looking at the reviews and confusing as there are many photographs of the temple on here? ,the caretakers attitude was absolutely disgusting screaming at a young woman like that he should be ashamed of himself, all he had to say was no photos please and there should be a photography prohibited sign put up if this is the upset it is going to cause, i wouldn't recommend going here as a tourist and wont...

We passed by this beautiful shrine by accident. The nicely decorated Chinese gate caught our attention, so we decided to visit. We were not allowed to take pictures, which makes sense as it’s a sacred place. When we were about to leave, it started to rain, so we decided to stay there a while as a shelter from the rain. The old man who guards the shrine offered us an umbrella and warned us that it would keep raining for about an hour and that the water can get pretty high at the entrance. But us stubborn Europeans decided to wait, because it was raining really hard, so he turned on the light for us where we were sitting. Of course he was right: the puddle of water at the entrance was as high as our ankles when we left. We had to take off our shoes and socks to get to the other side of the street. It was quite an adventure, but in the end a funny story. We are very grateful to this man who tried to warn us...

Hidden from prying eyes by a long and narrow corridor, guarded by powerful white lions, from the street, this temple can only be noticed by a large, beautiful structure by the road of a pleasant, purple color, decorated with Chinese lanterns and amazing stucco dragons on the pillars!

The narrow corridor itself, which leads to the main building, can be considered a small work of art. Everything is very beautiful and green here, and on the sides, visitors are greeted by beautiful statues, sacred hieroglyphs and other signs and elements of Chinese mythology.

This temple is definitely worth visiting while on vacation in Phuket. Here you can have a pleasant and useful time, walk, sort out your thoughts and take a large number of original and interesting photos!
