Wat Chalong, officially called Wat Chai Thararam, is located in Chalong, Phuket Town, Phuket, which is 8 kilometers adjacent to Phuket Town. It is regarded as an important temple for Phuket residents and a famous temple for Thai and foreign tourists who visit to admire the beautiful architectural design and Thais who frequently worship the statue of Luang Pho Cham for blessings. It is widely known that Wat Chalong is an ancient temple with a long history; however, there is no obvious evidence of when the temple was built. Moreover, Wat Chalong was recorded in the reign of King Rama 3, and it was later on changed to Wat Chai Thararam in the reign of King Rama 5. Wat Chalong has enshrined a statue of Luang Pho Chaem, also known as Phra Kru Wisutwongsachan Yanmuni. He was regarded as important for villagers in disease treatment because he was a monk who had experience with herbal healing medicine, the treatment of various diseases, and the application of splints to fracture patients. Luang Pho Chaem also fought against the Chinese Rebellion and gave the villagers a piece of cloth with inscriptions as morale in the fight until finally winning. Despite the fact that he passed away over a century ago, he acquired the devotion and faith of several people. He has recently become well-known due to his holiness and merciful story.
