😮 Check out how the largest temple in Phuket looks like! [3 of 5]

<html>
<p>Today it will be about the third attraction that <em><strong>Phuket Island in Thailand offers</strong></em>.<br>
If you are curious what is the first and the second, check out the articles below:

[2 of 5]</strong></a><br><br>

There is religious freedom in Thailand, but it is Buddhism, to be precise <em><strong>Buddhism theravāda</strong></em>, which is the main and most common religion.
It is estimated that this type of Buddhism is practiced by about <em><strong>90% of the local community</strong></em>.<br><br>

That is why <em><strong>Buddhist temples are considered to be the most important and well-known symbol of Thailand.</strong></em>

All over Phuket you will find <em><strong>29  </strong></em>of them, of which <em><strong>Wat Chalong is the largest one. </strong></em><br>
During the trip to this place I took many pictures because I found something that amazed me at every step! I am curious whether these views will also astonish you. <br>
See for yourself and let me know about it in comments!<br><br>

The whole complex consists of several temples and a beautiful courtyard with well-kept gardens.<br>
The place was built in honor of Buddhist monks who had treated here the local people in the past. That is why these temples have been named <em><strong>places of miracles and healings.</strong></em><br>
Check out how the temples look inside! <br><br>

<p>A <em><strong>holy relic, a fragment of the Buddha's bone</strong></em>, is also kept here. <br>
You can see it on the very top of the main temple, in a glass capsule surrounded by numerous valuables and gifts that pilgrims offer here.
<br>
<br>

<p>Remember to remove your shoes and properly cover your body when you enter the temples.<br>
Entrance to the buildings is free, but in many places you can make a voluntary donation, which will be used for the upkeep of the complex.

<p><br>
There are also many lazily lying cats around the place. Both the locals and the Monks take care of them by feeding them and respecting their space. </p>

<p>There is also an enclosed "kiln" where tourists can fire noisy petards, which are sold for the benefit of nearby stands. :)<br>

Their noise is supposed to scare off evil spirits. To be honest, I think that this is a clever way of getting extra money to maintain this large object.

<p>If you have the opportunity, take a look here also after dark.<br>
Although some temples may already be closed, they are still surrounded by a <em><strong>relaxed atmosphere</strong></em>, which you can enjoy without the participation of noisy visitors. <br><br>
The buildings are beautifully illuminated so it will be not only a celebration for your soul but also for the eyes. <br>
Just see it for yourselves!

<p>I'm curious if that's how you imagined Buddhist temples? <br>
Or have you already seen a few of them? If so, let me know if Wat Chalong is similar to them?<br> I look forward for your comments!
