Chalong Temple | Beautiful, this temple is too great

🕍Chalong Temple, the largest Buddhist temple on Phuket Island, combines the architectural styles of southern, central and northeastern Thailand, it's beautiful, regret not taking a Thai costume photo! ✅【About Chalong Temple】 The main hall of Chalong Temple has three monk statues. In addition to making and fulfilling vows, believers will also stick gold foil on the monk statues. Climbing up to the highest pagoda, you can overlook the entire Chalong Temple. On the third floor of the pagoda, the Buddha's relics are enshrined, which is very worth seeing. ✅【About Buddhism and Prayers】 The Buddhism practiced in China is Mahayana Buddhism, and the Buddhism practiced in Thailand is Theravada Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhism focuses on the afterlife, while Theravada Buddhism focuses on the present. If the wish comes true, you have to come here to fulfill it, so unless you often come to Phuket, you must make a big wish! ✅【About Taking Photos】 5+ buildings of different styles, each with its own characteristics, grand and gorgeous. The favorite is the one with the pink roof, like a lotus out of water, charming and attractive. If you are not in a hurry, you must come to take a Thai costume photo, it's really too matching! Taking portraits, both in front of the building and on the steps are like coming out of a picture, the beauty of architectural details is also exquisite and gorgeous. 📌Tips: You need to wear long sleeves and trousers to enter the temple, and you must take off your shoes. If the dress is not appropriate, there are shawls at the entrance for tourists to use.
