Colorful Phuket is a mélange of lifestyles, a place where tranquil monks navigate the same streets as pumped up nightclubbers.

Browse and bargain for pretty trinkets at the nearby Thai Amulet Market. Don’t miss an opportunity to take in a performance at the epic Siam Niramit Phuket theater, a true cultural extravaganza.

Great place to visit, did so twice. Photographer's paradise. Visited late afternoon, yes there were people, it is an active temple - but never crowded. Guess could be so at peak tourist-coaches hours. Sat evening a night market / food stalls were being set up in the grounds just as the sun was setting. Practically all Buddhist temples visited (and those we just drove past) would be worth a visit if they existed in isolation, due to the elaborate sculptural art that they are so rich in, plus they can look a little samey, but "Wat Chalong" stands out, so if you only visit one on Phuket island, make sure this is it.

It's hard to imagine just how big it is until you actually arrive and wow we were blown away by it's presence and the views from here are simply breathtaking. It's free entry which is always a plus plenty of food and drink options and a great chance to score some souvenirs definitely needs to be on everyone's itinary if your visiting Phuket.

We just got back from Phuket & spent our Christmas break there. I enjoyed this place more than The Big Buddha! I don’t understand why one review said this place is small & not worth it. WRONG! This temple is huge & totally worth the visit! For one, it was practically empty when we went, so we got to enjoy walking around without a huge crowd. This is one of the few less visited temples compared to the other more popular ones, so if you want to avoid a bigger crowd, go to this one! The intricate details on the structures & the “Gods” were impeccable!! Truly a spectacular & solemn place!

If you're coming to Phuket you probably don't want to miss out on exploring and walking through the streets of old town Phuket. Some nice eateries, and interesting architecture. A couple very nice Chinese Temples. worth spending a couple of days in old town, for sure.
