Temple Hopping in Phuket

#summervacay So I spent a morning temple-hopping around Phuket, and honestly? Such a vibe. Wat Chalong is the big star here, massive, super detailed, and that kind of peaceful energy that makes you wanna just sit down and breathe (or nap, but that’s probably not respectful lol). There’s gold everywhere, bells you can gently tap for blessings, and these giant statues that look like they’re guarding the whole island. I also checked out a smaller, lesser-known temple nearby, zero tourists, just monks quietly sweeping leaves. Total contrast but equally cool. The whole area smells like incense and flowers, and everyone’s just so chill. Even the dogs looked relaxed. Pro tip: wear something respectful (no crop tops or booty shorts), and bring a bottle of water because Phuket heat does not play. The temples are honestly such a beautiful escape from the beach-party scene. If you're into quiet spots with spiritual vibes, definitely carve out a few hours for this.
