Other Temple

Of the 29 Buddhist monasteries in Phuket, Wat Chalong is the largest, the most important, and probably its most ornate. The architecture is typical of Thai temples and the design emphasizes bright colours. The main building has three floors. As with many temples, Wat Chalong is visually quite dazzling. The murals on the temple’s walls are particularly interesting. The monks were associated with the temple and they did great works treating the areas sick and injured with herbal medicine. Many locals believe these two monks to have supernatural powers and come to the temple to pray to their images and receive their blessing. Many people come to the temple to learn about their future. You can have your fortune told by the Mor Doo and you can also learn about your future from a set of bamboo sticks.
