Chalong Temple Fair is a yearly event and we always try to make it.
Chalong Temple is the Wat in Phuket which is recognised as the wealthiest and so attracts to the most people - but the buildings are beautiful.
However the attraction here is that ther is so much here that is not normally here. Chalong Wat is usually full of people celebrating and down one side are a number of market stalls selling any number of bits and pieces.
However during this period however the spaces between the places of worship are full up with a plethora of stalls. There was somewhere to park - next to the Wat - 20 Baht for a motorbike and 60 Baht for your car.
At the front of the Wat are the plants and then food stalls - with the normal shops open. There was really no place to see anything of the temple because of the stalls...
The Chalong Temple Fair is one of my favourite yearly events in Phuket! It's quite exciting to see the different stands set up outside people's homes and all the goodies up for sale!
