Thao Thep Krasattri and Thao Si Sunthon Monument

There are shops around for souvenirs, very interesting if you would like to learn about the Buddhism religion. Since it situated in a high lying area, it has a beautiful view of the so-rounding low lying areas. As part of the religious rules or beliefs, you are not allowed to wear reviling clothes going inside the temple. However, if you do not have , at the main gate there are people borrow out sarongs to cover up. As a sign of courtesy you can give out a generous donation when returning the sarong.

This monument sends us back to 1785, when two sisters performed the feat of defending Phuket from the Burmese onslaught. At that time there were few men on the island (the campaign to conquer Thalang lasted 3-4 months) and the large Burmese army was about to conquer the island, but their plan was thwarted thanks to the ingenuity of sisters Chan and Muk. The sisters appealed to the entire female population of the island and they shaved off their hair and took on a masculine appearance, creating the appearance of a large army, which stopped the Burmese pressure at the stage of giving the order to attack. In addition, the women made models of cannons and other defenses that the Burmese were not ready to see at all. At the same time, the male population, perfectly oriented on the terrain, committed sabotage in the enemy camp. Full information with video and easy navigation - in the app 👉 PHUKETON
