Wat Muang Komanraphat - วัดม่วงโกมารภัจจ์


Wat Muang Komanraphat - วัดม่วงโกมารภัจจ์ - is somewhere which we stumbled on quite unexpectantly, I don't remember what we were looking for or where we were going.


We were looking for a short cut and ended up in a rubber plantation.


But what a find - this was clearly not a tourist attraction, there was nothing there in any other language but Thai. This only added to it's natural beauty however.



I can find almost nothing about this for the tourist however - here it is on Temple Tour and Pantip.com


The temple was calming beyond my expectations.

The sculptures the gardens are not something that I have had an experience of calming but rather a 'teaching tool'  which I have seen in Wat Thampatan.


Then there was a buried Buddha? - something else to find here.





It was clear that it was somewhere which the locals used often.

A peaceful place to escape to...

Elephant sanctuary




We An Elephant Sanctuary is something that I have been asked for a number of times whilst sitting in the Front Lobby of the Cape Panwa Hotel and Spa.

It has meant me finding their Facebook page and their Website.

It is with great delight that I see CNN have just released.

Phuket Street Art December 2016


We had a great number of paintings throughout Phuket Town in June 2016. Since the passing of His Royal Highness King Bhumibol the Great 



it has now been changed to the classic paintings above.
