Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town

My girlfriend and I booked a private car (supposedly) for 8 hours and the driver pick us up at our hotel with a mini bus!

We went on to visit Wat Chalong, Big Buddha and Old Phuket Town. It was raining that day and was informed by the driver that we may not be able to see the Big Buddha because the weather was very foggy, so we went to Wat Chalong first.

We had forgotten that visiting a temple will require the girls to cover up a bit, so we went to the neighbouring shops to buy a shawl for the girlfriend. So please remember to grab a shawl when you are visiting the temples there. We then spent awhile walking around the temple and climbing up the pagoda.

Undefeated, we asked the driver again if we see the Big Buddha and he drove us there to try our luck. The fog and rain was insane and we could not see the Big Buddha even at close up. All of a sudden, a gust of wind came and it revealed to us the holy buddha. It was enormous!!

Then we headed to Old Phuket Town for some food, it was amazing. We bought so many street food from the friendly vendors. My favourite one was the tiny fried shrimps and mango sticky rice!
