Wat Chalong

Wat Chalong, built in the pure Thai style, lies 6 km (4 mi.) south-west of Phuket (Highway 4021). A gold-plated monument commemorates the abbot Luang Pho Chaem who worked as a non-medical practitioner in this temple in about 1880. Luang Pho Chaung, another monk honored by the population, also lived in Wat Chalong.
