The Journey
Wat Chalong (Chaithararam Temple)
Wat Chalong, formally known as Wat Chaithararam, is Phuket's largest and most revered Buddhist temple. Dating back to the early 19th century, it honors two highly respected monks, Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang, who are celebrated for their roles in quelling a rebellion. Visitors can admire the intricate architecture, including the grand pagoda housing a splinter of Lord Buddha's bone, and participate in the tradition of offering food to monks – an especially meaningful experience for couples seeking blessings for their shared future. The temple's vibrant atmosphere and rich history make it a must-visit for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of Thai culture and spirituality. Don't miss the chance to light firecrackers to make merit and ward off bad luck, a customary practice on the temple grounds.
Phiphitthaphan Rup Muean Chao-athikan Wat Chalong (Wax Museum at Wat Chalong)
Located within the Wat Chalong complex, the Phiphitthaphan Rup Muean Chao-athikan is a wax museum that presents the statues of notable monks of Wat Chalong. Also here, visitors can engage in Siamsi fortune-telling, an ancient Buddhist practice using numbered sticks to reveal insights into the future. With over 28 different predictions, this experience offers a personal look into what may come. It's a unique blend of cultural exploration and self-discovery, enhanced by the spiritual ambiance of the temple grounds.
