“Wat Phra Nang Sang is the oldest temple in Phuket and dates back more than 200 years. ”
Wat Phra Nang Sang Located approximately 20 kilometers from town is a historic temple that serves as an invaluable reference on Thalangs history. This temple used to be an important location during the 1785 Burmese invasion. The two heroines used it to rally supporters to resist the Burmese invaders. You can just picture the two sisters rousing the locals to fight.
Legend has it that this temple was built by Phranang Lueatkhao, wife of a ruler, who was accused of adultry with a royal page. She was sentenced to death despite the fact that she was innocent. As a consistent patron of Buddhism, her last request was to be given the chance to pay respect to a relic of the Buddha located in Sri Lanka. On her way back, she stopped at Thalang and built a temple, grew plants, and had precious items buried there
