Wat Chalong is a wonderful illustration of a Thai Buddhist Temple.
I latterly came across this text with Triposo - an App that I was reviewing for my Place to Visit App Blog and their review of Wat Chalong.
"The close of import of the 29 buddhist temples of Phuket is Wat Chalong or formally Wat Chaiyathararam , located inward the Chalong Subdistrict, Mueang Phuket District. It is dedicated to 2 highly venerable monks, Luang Pho Chaem (หลวงพ่อแช่ม) too Luang Pho Chuang (หลวงพ่อช่วง), who led the citizens of Chalong Subdistrict fighting against the Chinese rebellion inward 1876 too amongst their cognition of herbal medicine helped the injured."
It is the most pop too revered of the Buddhist Temples inward Phuket and also the busiest too then for a 'personal retreat' it is non e'er the best selection but it is rattling pop with TripAdvisor and it is simply about Big Buddha. Jamie inward Phuket has written a post service equally well.
There are a publish of unlike temples to see too I would see each 1 - at that topographic point is 1 amongst an entire ceiling inward a mural of sorts but it would postulate me to accept fourth dimension to catalogue it all - some other time.
