Visit Wat Chalong, One of Phuket’s Most Important Temples
Explore Wat Chalong, also known as Wat Chai Thararam, an important Buddhist temple visited by local worshippers and travellers. Admire its ornate temple buildings, religious artwork, and the approximately 60-metre Phra Mahathat Chedi. Inside the complex, learn about revered local monks and the temple’s place in Phuket’s religious life.
See Phuket Big Buddha
Some tours include Phuket Big Buddha, formally known as Phra Phuttha Ming Mongkhon Eknak Khiri. The 45-metre image is made from reinforced concrete and faced with white and jade marble imported from Myanmar. Its hilltop location offers wide views across southern Phuket.
The site reopened on 3 March 2026 after a temporary closure. Access is subject to current operating arrangements, so check that Big Buddha is included in your chosen tour and confirm any visitor requirements before your visit. The Phuket News
Explore Phuket Old Town
Walk along Thalang Road and nearby streets to discover Phuket Old Town’s historic Sino-European shophouses. Their colourful façades, arched windows, and decorative details reflect the island’s layered cultural influences. Many historic buildings now house cafés, shops, galleries, and local businesses.
Take time to browse a gallery, enjoy a café stop, or photograph the historic streets. Shops and market activities vary by day, so check the tour details if a particular stop matters to you.
