#weekendgetaways Think of Thailand, think of ornate historical temples, decorated in yellow and gold, immaculately maintained architecture and features. In Phuket, one must see the Wat Chalong (known locally as Wat Chaithararam) complex - a vast area of temples, holy sites, galleries, and an operational monastery! The original temple, Wat Chaithararam, is believed to have been built in 1837, with the other buildings in the complex built much later. Apart from its majestic look, this complex features many relics and pilmigrage sites. The tallest building, with a 60m tall stupa (spire), features a bone relic of Lord Buddha on its top floor. From there, the view is spectacular - you can see extensive parts of Phuket on a clear day. There is also a shrine dedicated to famous and venerable monks for people to make offerings. Likewise, an air conditioned museum replicates the original home in which 3 revered monks used to live in. From time to time, you'll hear firecrackers go off - if someone's wishes made at this complex came true, they'll come back to set firecrackers off as a tribute! One can easily spend hours here, so I recommend coming early. The complex is huge with many places of interest and historical significance. Bear in mind this isn't the beach, so dress modestly (cover your knees and shoulders) and remove hats when entering sheltered places. Entry is free but do feel free to make donations!

🕍Chalong Temple, the largest Buddhist temple on Phuket Island, combines the architectural styles of southern, central and northeastern Thailand, it's beautiful, regret not taking a Thai costume photo! ✅【About Chalong Temple】 The main hall of Chalong Temple has three monk statues. In addition to making and fulfilling vows, believers will also stick gold foil on the monk statues. Climbing up to the highest pagoda, you can overlook the entire Chalong Temple. On the third floor of the pagoda, the Buddha's relics are enshrined, which is very worth seeing. ✅【About Buddhism and Prayers】 The Buddhism practiced in China is Mahayana Buddhism, and the Buddhism practiced in Thailand is Theravada Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism focuses on the afterlife, while Theravada Buddhism focuses on the present. If the wish comes true, you have to come here to fulfill it, so unless you often come to Phuket, you must make a big wish! ✅【About Taking Photos】 5+ buildings of different styles, each with its own characteristics, grand and gorgeous. The favorite is the one with the pink roof, like a lotus out of water, charming and attractive. If you are not in a hurry, you must come to take a Thai costume photo, it's really too matching! Taking portraits, both in front of the building and on the steps are like coming out of a picture, the beauty of architectural details is also exquisite and gorgeous. 📌Tips: You need to wear long sleeves and trousers to enter the temple, and you must take off your shoes. If the dress is not appropriate, there are shawls at the entrance for tourists to use.

Chalong Temple (also called Wat Chalong), was built at the beginning of the 19th century, it is the biggest and the most visited Buddhist temple in Phuket.

If you've come to Phuket Island and don't know about Wat Chalong, that's really a pity. Wat Chalong is the largest temple on Phuket Island. Although it's a temple, it's also a tourist attraction. You don't necessarily have to burn incense and worship Buddha when you go to the temple. Just take some photos outside and check in. A different experience and feeling. There is also a Big Buddha near Wat Chalong, which is the largest Big Buddha on Phuket Island. Near the Big Buddha, you can experience off-road quad biking, and elephant riding and feeding activities. They are also very good.

Address - 70 Village No.6 Chao Fah Tawan Tok Road, Chalong, Muang, Phuket 83000, Thailand Highlights - Historical landmark and Buddhist temple Rating - 5/5 If you are looking for a place of interest, I would recommend Wat Chat Long Temple as one of them! What I enjoyed from the visit is the view of the inner and outer of the temple. The design is grand and colourful that will make it into your memories! Also, the higher you go inside the temple, you will get to see the view around the temple. When you visit, just note that in order for you to go inside the temple, revealing clothes are not allowed. But no worries that they do have something to lend you to cover your revealing part. #scenicspotguide#bestislandtraveltowns#naturalwonders#culturalattractions
