Wat Chalong is one of Phuket's most important temples in Chalong, Phuket, where you can look around the golden decorations, pagodas, and worship route together.

It's a good place to add when planning a Phuket itinerary in Thailand, but operating conditions can vary by season, so it's safest to check the official information before visiting.

Useful tips

  • For religious sites, prepare modest clothing and a quiet attitude while visiting.
  • Travel times within the island are long, so it's better not to force beach areas and Phuket Town into the same day.
  • When planning, you may wonder whether to pair it with Big Buddha on the same day. Since Wat Chalong is described as a temple near Chao Fa Road, placing it before or after the hilltop viewpoint makes it easier to cut down on backtracking.
  • Inside the temple, check the worship route before focusing on photos, and wear shoes that are easy to slip on and off because there may be areas where you need to remove them.
