Wat Chalong (in Thai: วัดฉลอง) ist der größte und prominenteste der 29 buddhistischen Tempel (Wat) der Insel Phuket (Thailand).
Der Tempel liegt etwa 8 km südöstlich der Stadt Phuket an der Straße 4021. Hier werden zwei Mönche verehrt, die während der Zeit des Aufstands der Zinnarbeiter lebten und hier wirkten: Luang Pho Chuang und Luang Pho Chaem. Beide waren berühmt für ihre medizinischen Kenntnisse und Fähigkeiten. In einem dem Wat beigeordneten Teakhaus werden Andenken an die beiden Mönche aufbewahrt, u. a. von ihnen getragene Roben sowie Statuen aus Wachs.
The temple is very very grand and nicely maintained. A great place for photos.... Occasionally you will see locals taking wedding photo there. Accordingly it's famous place for wedding photos shooting... And... O, I enjoy the fire crackers by the locals.... Remember to wear appropriately when going.

The place is a flea market with a few beautiful temples in between. Tourists setting off fireworks was a disaster as well. Make sure to take your shoes off before entering a temple, and don’t touch any Buddha statues— it’s not polite (there are some signs to help with proper temple etiquette). The view from the top of the main temple is beautiful, you can see the big Buddha on the horizon as well. Remember that when you order a car (use grab app), they cannot enter so meet them at the front street. Nice way to kill a few hours.

Beautiful and large Buddhist Temple complex at the Phuket island. Tourist attraction, but also a popular religious destination for Budda believers. The main temple is an impressive one, with panoramic view of the area, which have beautiful nature.

This was a lovely area full of temples and peacefulness. We took a tuk tuk here and had a some time to look around. It was not busy or crowded. Lots of photo opportunity and to admire the architecture.

This is a must see if you are in Phuket. Such a beautiful place. Make sure to dress respectfully as you are in a temple. Amazing photo opportunities at every turn. We had a vegan meal while we were there and it was delicious. You can get the blessed bead bracelets here as well if you’re into that :).

Just another place with compulsory visit if you are going to Phuket. A fabulous demonstration of the Thai Art. If the external architecture scenery could bring you up to admiration, it is nothing regarding what you can find indoor any these temples. The smallest detail is absolutely beautiful and the association of all these chiseling become a delight and enchantment. The most impressive will be to discover that each temples are fully unique generating an incredible diversity on a same area. We have already scheduled to visit again this place considering that it was too much for an only one visit.

Beautiful temple. From the entrance there is a shop which you can take flowers and incense sticks by putting some charity money to the box. No price for any of that. There is beautiful Buddha statues and places to pray as well. This place is a must visit place if you are in phuket.

One of best wat destination. wat is famous in phuket and you can see the monks worshiping or for you as a traveler can also worship here. the best season time to visit this wat in the summer. one of the interesting things is that many traditional culinary sellers. some like grasshoppers, crickets fried with flavor. for those of you who are challenging snacks, can be tried fried centipedes, fried scorpions. of course all at affordable prices.
