This temple is dramatically situated on top of the highest hill of the small island Kho Sireh.

It features the biggest Buddha statue in Phuket county.

The resting Buddha measures 17 x 3 meters.

The pupils of his eyes are made of big precious stones, donated by his Majesty The King.

As you can see on numerable plaques, photos and illustrations, industries and tycoons have subsided the building in a bid to gain good karma for their next life.

The view from Wat Koh Sireh is absolutely the best on Phuket and rewards the visitor for the trip up the dragon stairs.
