A pov of Chaithararam Temple - Wat Chalong

            Known for its stunning architecture and sacred relics, Wat Chalong is a lesser known religious site in Phuket.

This is not the most popular attraction in Phuket, but if you have some extra time, it's worth seeing. This is not the most busy spot in the resort island, but it can still see large crowds during peak times and during peak travel season.

What is Wat Chalong?
Wat Chalong, also known as Wat Chaiyathararam, is the largest and most revered Buddhist temple in Phuket, Thailand. Located in the Chalong subdistrict, the temple complex is renowned for its stunning architecture, intricate decorations, and sacred relics. Visitors can explore the various buildings and shrines within the temple grounds, including the main hall housing statues of Buddha and other revered monks, as well as the grand pagoda containing a fragment of Buddha's bone. Wat Chalong is a popular destination for spiritual pilgrimages, cultural sightseeing, and learning about Thai Buddhism and traditions. The temple also hosts annual festivals and religious ceremonies, attracting worshippers and tourists from around the world.

Families with children will sometimes enjoy it, but it really depends on their level of interest. This is a fairly romantic spot for couples, so be sure to come if you're traveling as a couple. Budget travelers and backpackers usually enjoy their visit here.
