Suwan Khiri Wong Temple

The "Patong Hill" Gateway: This site captures almost all traffic traveling from Kathu and Phuket Town over the hill into Patong. Because this is the primary route for tourists, commuters, and supply trucks, the volume is massive and consistent. Forced Slowdown: The sharp curve in front of the temple naturally forces vehicles to decelerate. This increases the dwell Time compared to straight, high-speed sections of the highway. Beach Connectivity: This road is the main direction for those heading not just to Patong, but also north toward Kamala or south toward Karon and Kata. Tourism Density: This route has the highest concentration of tourists in Phuket, including a high volume of airport transfer vans, tour buses, and rental scooters.
