Bangtao Beach Attractions

What to See in Bangtao Beach

Canal  Village

Canal Village has about 40 units and is set in a casuarina grove by one of the resort's lagoons. It is laid out like a walking street and has a car park next to its entrance. The 'village' is made up of boutiques, souvenir shops, a bakery, jewelry stores, a clinic, a minimart, and several tailors. Here you can also find quality leather goods such as briefcases, shoes and suitcases. Canal Village also has a silk factory outlet that sells bags, scarves, ties as well as shirts and you can also have clothes made and tailored here, too. A sports shop selling brand-name shoes and accessories stands next to a shop entirely devoted to sunglasses.

You'll also find an art and gift gallery, two Jim Thompson (silk specialists) outlets as well as a shop called 'Siam Crafts' that sells souvenirs and memorabilia. You can have your photos downloaded at the Kodak shop and Canal Village features a small children's playground. At the water's edge there is a tastefully appointed restaurant.
Open: Hours vary per store (usually 10:00 – 22:00)
Location: Inside Laguna Phuket Resort Complex

Cherngtalay Temple

Wat Cherngtalay or Cherngtalay Temple has been the spiritual centre of Bangtao and Cherntalay for almost a century now after it relocated from its original site in Khao Noi. The temple is in typical Thai-Buddhist design, with images of giant snakes on the way up to the ubosot or main hall and paintings illustrating the Buddha’s good works (or ‘nitan chadok’ in Thai). Every evening, the lights along the pathways inside the temple come on with light poles fashioned in the form of kinnarees (half-human, half-birdlike creatures that figure in ancient Thai tales) which look quite charming, especially at dusk.
Open: Daily
Location:  About 300-400 metres before the police station intersection if coming from the Heroines Monument. Easy to spot from the main road (Srisoontorn Road).
