It is commonly known as Wat Klang by the locals because of its location: right in the middle of the old Phuket town. In 1953 the government selected the official name of the temple Mongkol Nimit, which means auspiciousness in Thai. In addition to the Buddha statue in the left main hall, most notably the pagoda Chedi, the word “Chedi” is a Thai adaptation of the Pali (Buddhist) word “cetiya” to remind the world to pay close attention to their consciousness. . A stupa Chedi is a mound-like or hemispherical structure containing relics or relics of the Buddha or high monks. It is very peaceful when you get to the temple. You can sit down and listen to the monks chanting around noon. There are also several temple cats in the temple. They are not afraid of people and are not angry when they are photographed.
