Phuket·Sightseeing·Chalong Temple.

The largest Buddhist temple in Phuket, it houses the relics of Phra Borom Sareerikatat (a Buddha bone brought from Sri Lanka). There are also two Buddha statues in the main building covered with gold foil. The edges of the gold foil are slightly raised and swaying in the breeze, which is a bit strange. But the strangest thing is that the temple's incinerator is not burning incense candles, but firecrackers. While walking around, I was shocked by the bursts of crackling. Later, I checked and found that Chalong Temple is one of the few temples in Thailand that allows cannon fire. In principle, clothing should not be exposed and the bottoms should be above the knees. You need to take off your shoes when entering the building. However, I still saw many tourists wearing shorts and skirts. It closes at 5pm, so don't be late.
