Just spent a dreamy

Just spent a dreamy few days bouncing between Takua Thung and Phuket 🏝️🌅 — think crystal-clear water, epic views, and jaw-dropping temples! If you love swimming and island-hopping, this itinerary absolutely delivers. Top Spots to Visit: 1. Ko Tapu (James Bond Island), Krasom Subdistrict, Takua Thung — Famous for its movie cameo! Open 8:00–17:00 daily, get there early for less crowds and those crazy scenic selfies. 2. Khao Phing Kan, Phang Nga — Explore caves and beaches, open 9:00–21:00. Perfect for swimming and admiring those limestone cliffs. 3. Chaithararam Temple – Wat Chalong, Chao Fah Tawan Tok Rd, Phuket — Cultural must-see, open 8:00–17:00 year-round. Respect dress code, keep shoulders and knees covered. 4. The Big Buddha, Phuket — Hike up for panoramic island views and calm vibes. 5. 333 At The Beach, Kamala — Delicious Thai food right on the sand! Try the Pad Thai and mango sticky rice, 333/3 Moo 3, Kamala, Kathu. 6. Twinpalms MontAzure Phuket, Kamala — Swanky stay! Super friendly staff, dreamy pools and a spa. Room tip: Ask about humidity control when checking in. Getting Around: Rent a scooter for max freedom, or use local taxis/Grab for short hops. Longtail boats are the move for island trips — bargain a little before you set sail! Food & Tip-Offs: Eat beachfront whenever possible! Simple tip: Bring swim gear (every spot is a swim opportunity). Sunscreen is a must. Cash is still king for smaller vendors. Phuket’s weather is warm year-round, but expect epic sunsets especially in Nov–Apr. Find deals on hotels and tickets via trip.com for smooth planning! #phuketparadise #jamesbondisland #watchalong #beachlife #tripdotcom #hellohalloween

#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck 🛕✨ Review of Wat Chalong, Phuket ✨🛕 When it comes to religious landmarks that you must visit in Phuket, "Wat Chalong (Wat Chaithararam)" is a place steeped in faith, beauty, and a long history. This temple has been a staple of Phuket for hundreds of years. It stands out for its majestic Phra Mahathat Chedi (Phra Chom Thai Barami Prakat), visible from afar. Inside, it contains relics of the Lord Buddha from Sri Lanka, revered by both Thais and foreigners. As you enter the temple, you'll be greeted by a peaceful and shady atmosphere, with the sound of bells and gentle chanting, providing a sense of calm. The temple grounds are beautifully decorated with a variety of trees and flowers. Photography enthusiasts shouldn't miss the beautiful viewpoint in front of the Phra Mahathat Chedi or the observation deck, offering a 360-degree view of Phuket. Wat Chalong also houses Luang Por Chaem, a renowned Buddhist monk highly revered by Phuket residents. He has long been a source of spiritual support for the people. He often comes to pay homage and seek blessings for health, career, and good fortune, and is widely revered for his sacredness. If you're visiting Phuket, don't forget to stop by Wat Chalong to experience the power of faith, admire its exquisite architecture, and find peace of mind. 🌿🙏 #WatChalong #WatChaiyathararam #PhuketTravel #PhuketTemple #MustVisitThailand #MeritMaking #ThaiTempleTourism #LuangPhoChaem #PhuketAttractions #BeautifulPhuketTemples
