The Largest, Most Honored & Most Visited Buddhist Temple in Phuket🇹🇭✨

#solotrip This time i visited the most beautiful temple in Phuket; Wat Chalong. The actual name of Wat Chalong is Wat Chaiyathararam. It was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century and is dedicated to two highly venerable monks, Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Cho Chuang, who led the locals against an uprising by Chinese tin miners in 1876. The temple is built in the traditional style, with several buildings surrounding a five-story high main structure, all housed in the same compound. One of the Wat Chalong's halls displays a gilt-covered statue of Luang Poh Cham. It also contains the statues of Luang Poh Chuang and Luang Poh Gleum, who were the temple's ex-abbots. The grand pagoda dominating Wat Chalong is reputed to contain a splinter of Lord Buddha's bone. Women are required to cover their shoulders and wear pants or skirts that extend down to their knees. Certain level of respect is expected, Speak in a quiet tone within the temple and don't touch the statues or other Buddhist relics.
