Wat Chalong is one of the most important Buddhist temples in Phuket. Formerly known as Wat Chaiyathararam, the temple is dedicated to two highly venerated monks: Luang Pho Chuang and Luang Pho Chaem – both of whom led the people of Chalong against the Chinese rebellion in 1876 and provided herbal medicines for those injured. Visitors will be able to see many beautiful paintings illustrating the life of the Buddha as well as various golden statues of him. As tokens of their visit, visitors will be able to buy souvenirs and trinkets at the temple or from the large market that extends into the temple grounds.
