Wat Chalong

  Wat Chalong sits in the Chalong district of Phuket, just a short drive from the popular beaches. Dating back to the 19th century, this temple has served as a significant spiritual center for the local community, especially during Buddhist festivals. One of its main features is the stunning wooden pagoda, which stands at 60 meters tall, drawing visitors for both its architectural beauty and religious significance. The most notable time to visit is in February during the Phuket Ubud Festival, where vibrant displays fill the temple grounds. Visitors can explore the intricately decorated halls and learn more about Buddhist practices through various exhibits within the temple complex.
