Check out Wat Chalong

One of the oldest and most renowned temples in Phuket, Wat Chalong is one of the most important places on the island and a must-visit for tourists. The temple is located just southwest of Phuket Old Town and it can easily be reached by motorcycle on your way to the coasts. Within the temple, you will find several stunning architecture as well as a massive pagoda where you can climb out to see the view of the surrounding area.

You can spend around half an hour here, walking the temple ground, checking out all the stunning ordination halls, and hiking up to the top of the pagoda. From the top of the pagoda, you will be able to see the Big Buddha statue on top of a mountain which is where we will be heading next. The temple opens from 8 AM to 5 PM every day and like most temples in Thailand, you can enter for free.
