Can a city be shaped like a dragon? Here in Phuket, many believe it to be true. Right before your eyes stands the Dragon, a golden statue, a tribute to this mythical creature and its connection to the island. This is not just any statue. The Dragon represents Hai Leng Ong, a mythical sea dragon embodying the spirit and form of Phuket itself. Local legend says that Phuket’s geography mirrors the dragon’s body. The dragon’s snout? It’s said to be Laem Promthep, the southernmost tip of the island. And its heart? Somewhere here, in the heart of Phuket Town. Queen Sirikit Park, where the Dragon stands, holds even more stories. The park, a tribute to Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, also commemorates milestones in the reign of His Majesty the King. Look around, and you’ll see a wall adorned with artwork depicting the legend of Hai Leng Ong. This isn’t just a statue; it’s a tangible link to the island’s folklore and a testament to the enduring power of ancient beliefs.
