6 Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd, Chalong, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000, Thailand As my parents love the temple tour, we went to the 3 monk Temple which is one of the temples located within the wat chalong temple. We went during the fall season so the weather is very cooling. It was said that the three Buddha were once human beings like us. They were later made into statues to commemorate them. It was believed to bring good luck to you when you paste gold sticker papers onto their body. In addition, you can also try your luck by shaking the wooden box to get the first one out. From the number shown on the stick, you can get the explanation from the paper towards the back of the temple. Do bring along your family here to have a good luck prayers. #fallingforfall #family #family Vacation #tripblazers

6 Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd, Chalong, Mueang Phuket District, Phuket 83000, Thailand During my fall trip with my family, we visited one of the most famous temple in phuket. That is the Wat Chalong temple. One of the temple is the phra mahathat chedi. The 3 floor gold coloured building is filled with many Buddha statues around. There is a priest inside the building where he will chant and pray for the people. I do see people kneeling down and praying behind them and showing respect to him. As I walked further up to the top floor, I saw a lotus Buddha area. The Buddha is inside the crystal ball and people said that you can wish for your prayers to come true by sending your wishes there. In addition, you can also do some charity by throwing in some small notes. This is definitely a great place to spend with your family during the fall season here in Phuket. #fallingforfall #tripblazers #family
