Not far from Phuket Town is the stunning Wat Chalong. We’ve visited a lot of wats in South East Asia, and this one certainly had its own unique flare.

The Grand Pagoda dominates the temple grounds–it’s cool and breezy location makes it just as popular as the splinter of Buddha’s bone that rests inside. The pagoda walls depict Buddha’s life story and immense golden statues of the various Buddha poses sit in the main hall. Choose the one you wish to worship to most.

Pay attention to the fire crackers going off inside the brick oven out the front of the ordination hall. Thai people set them off to celebrate if they receive any good luck.

Le Meridien Phuket Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect"

Four Points by Sheraton Phuket Patong Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Pretty happy with the stay. Staff friendly, cheerful and helpful. Your breakfast rocks! Keep up the good work. Rooms, specially the ocean view ones need noise fix. You may want to replace the current glass door set up with something of better quality."
