Chalong Temple (Wat Chalong), SOUTH THAILAND

Chalong Temple (Wat Chalong)

The most famous temple in Phuket...during the day lots of tourists...try to visit this beautiful place late in the evening at around 9pm...then you are probably alone except some harmless temple dogs and a few caretakers....if you are lucky like us its full moon night (see below).

Tiger Cave, SOUTH THAILAND

Tiger Cave

And it goes up and up and up ... 1,376 steps to be exactly ... take your time and bring drinking water, lots of both if you are an untrained hiker (restrooms are provided on the way) ... on top, 600meters higher, you have 360 degrees surround views over Krabi province and Phang Nga bay ... try to hike up in the morning or during rain otherwise the humidity will seriously make your heart go wild :-)

For us definitely one of the most impressive places in Southern Thailand.

Little Tiger Cave, SOUTH THAILAND

Little Tiger Cave

The trick with the gong is not to hit it but to rub it ... yep, no joke: gently rub it like you would give a massage, in the middle circle from the bottom to the top, repeating it about 10 times ... by now you should hear already the hummin sound of the gong .. continue to rub stronger and stronger until the hummin becomes one of the most impressive natural sounds I have ever come across ... if you have problems figuring it out then simply ask one of the monks who will gladly assist you...

Inside the cave you will find an old burial chamber and several meditation chambers ... lots of stray dogs and cats taking care by the monks ...

The famous gong ...

Riang Temple, SOUTH THAILAND

Riang Temple

Best time to visit is the early evening from 5pm onwards ... most of the people will be gone and the sunset light makes the enormous Buddha statue glow beautifully ... you can drive up with the car and walk the last meters ... remember to come in long pants and (for women) covered shoulders if you like to see the inside of the temple (entrance fee: 20 baht).

A short but heavy hike up the stairs pretty much in the middle of nowhere ... great views ... one big chamber with huge dripstones ... strong spiritual touch ... very secluded ...
