    Wat Chalong Temple Phuket

    Thailand, often referred to as the ‘Land of Smiles’, is a country where Buddhism is deeply interwoven into society. This strong religious influence is visible in the country’s wealth of ancient temples, many of which have stood the test of time, dating back several centuries, and continue to be significant cultural and religious sites.

    One such place is Phuket, a picturesque island nestled in the southern part of Thailand. Phuket is home to a number of temples, but the one that truly stands out is Wat Chalong, this temple is the oldest in Phuket. Its construction dates back to the early 19th century, making it not just a religious site, but also a historical landmark.

    Wat Chalong is not just renowned for its age or its beautiful architecture. It holds a special significance for both locals and Thai tourists who flock to the temple to offer their prayers and pay their respects to several revered monks. These monks are the very founders of Wat Chalong, including the esteemed Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang. These venerable figures led the citizens of the Chalong Subdistrict in their fight against the Chinese rebellion in 1876. They also used their extensive knowledge of herbal medicine to treat the injured, showcasing their dedication and selflessness.

    I was fortunate to visit Wat Chalong, an experience that was both enlightening and humbling. I had the opportunity to explore the beautiful grounds of this temple in Phuket and have included some photos to share.
