Wat Phra Nang Sang was built more than 200 years ago and was originally known as Wat Takian and is the oldest Thai temple in Phuket. This temple was built when Thalang was the main city of Phuket Island and even was the scene of a battlefield during the Burma war in 1785.
Everything is designed with mixed Chinese and Thai mythology influences. The legend goes that Lady Luad Khao, the spouse of the ruler of Nakhon Si Thammarat, was condemned to death for having a love affair. Before the execution, she asked the last favor to travel to Sri Lanka to pay last respect to the relics of Lord Buddha. She built this temple when she returned, hence Wat Phra Nang Sang, which means ‘built by the Royal Lady’. The story goes that when she was executed, her blood was white, and she became known as Phra Nang Luad Khao, the lady with white blood.
The most important elements in Wat Phra Nang Sang are three ancient Buddha images called Phra Nai Phung, meaning ‘abdomen Buddha image’ and Phra Sam Kasat...

My Son Sanctuary, also known as Mỹ Sơn, stands as one of Vietnam’s most remarkable ancient sites and a powerful testament to the Champa Kingdom. Nestled in a serene, jungle-covered valley surrounded by mountains in Duy Xuyen District, Quang Nam Province, central Vietnam, the sanctuary lies roughly 40–50 kilometers southwest of the historic town of Hoi An and about 70 kilometers from Da Nang.
The Thu Bon River flows nearby, enhancing the site’s natural beauty and symbolic significance, as the valley was chosen to represent the mythical Mount Meru, the sacred center of the Hindu universe.
