Wat Chalong Photos 📷

Wat Chalong Photo Gallery

Wat Chalong, officially known as Wat Chaiyathararam, is the largest and most revered Buddhist temple in Phuket. Built in the early 19th century, it is an important spiritual site for locals and tourists alike. A highlight of Wat Chalong is the 60-meter-tall chedi, which houses a bone fragment of Lord Buddha.

The temple’s intricate murals and golden statues make it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring Phuket. We visited Wat Chalong countless times in the 30 years we lived in Phuket, to make merit and take photos every time we got a chance to stop. Wat Chalong is not far from the Phuket Big Buddha and is often combined in tours when visiting the south of Phuket.
