Wat Maduea Wan temple is one of the cultural attractions of Koh Phangan. This temple preserves a replica of the Lord Buddha’s footprint that is enshrined on the hilltop Mondop.
As you head towards the temple, you will come across a spectacular staircase that is framed by the famous brightly painted five headed serpents sitting on either side. And as you reach towards the top you shall be greeted with a statue of small Buddha. This is an area that is used for daily prayers and blessings.
