Description:

Discover the local temples of Wat Luangpoo Supha, Wat Chalong, and Phuket Big Buddha on your private half-day tour. Learn and join the daily meditation rituals as you marvel at the majestic structures of the temples.

From your hotel, travel to the gorgeous Wat Luangpoo Supha and practice the meditation techniques of Vipassana, the mindfulness of breathing as popularized by Mahasi Sayadaw. Then explore the 4 foundations of mindfulness, which include the mindfulness of body, feelings, mind, and dharma (natural law) as described in the Buddha’s 8 Noble Paths.

Next, visit the renowned Wat Chalong, the largest of Phuket’s temples. Upon arrival, take off your shoes, join in the daily rites, and learn more about Buddhism from the temple's resident monks. While here, learn about the temple’s historic and grand architectural structure, built during the reign of King Rama V in the early 19th century.

Be mesmerized by the largest statue on the island, the Big Buddha statue at Wat Praputthamingmongkol Eaknakakeeree. Observe services at the temple and take in the breathtaking and stunning views of Phuket's large bays.
