Wat Chalong is Phuket’s most important Buddhist temple and is the biggest and most ornate of Phuket’s 29 Buddhist monasteries. The architecture is typical of wats (temples) found throughout Thailand. Wat Chalong is associated with the revered monks, Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Pho Chuang, both of whom were famous for there work in herbal medicine and tending to the injured.
 

Remember - remove your shoes before entering any temple building.
Woman must cover their shoulders for a monks blessing ceremony!

Wat Chalong is our favorite temple in Phuket for the Monks Blessing ceremony for three reasons.
1. It is the most beautiful temple and offers the most photo opportunities.
2. The service by the monks is very good and you are seated properly inside the prayer hall
3. Its location is ideal for the island tour and close to our preferred beach wedding location.
 

Wat Chern Talae
This temple is located in Cherng Talae, the north-west part of Phuket and probably your choice is you are located in the Laguna or Bangtao area. It is a lovely small temple with great wall paintings. The monks service for the blessing is somehow shorter than at Wat Chalong and the temple does not offer that many photo opportunities, but is still a nice temple to visit.
