For a contemplative moment to enjoy a different kind of peace, a visit to Wat Chalong is warranted. It’s certainly one of the interesting things to do in Phuket. While there are around 29 temples spread across Phuket, Wat Chalong is visited by locals and tourists alike. It’s a beautifully decorated temple, sumptuously appointed with a Grand Pagoda that apparently contains a splinter of Lord Buddha’s bone. Inside the temple, the atmosphere is serene as is expected. Do refrain from wearing revealing clothes here as it would be considered impolite. Also, remember to remove your footwear before entering some of the buildings as well.
Tip: It’s advisable not to wear expensive shoes when visiting a Wat because it could easily get misplaced when you leave them outside a temple.
