Soak Up The Culture
 

• The hustle and bustle of Phuket Old Town should not be avoided. A visit to Wat Chalong, the gorgeous Buddhist temple is a cultural highlight, boasting striking sights and statues like no other. This religious site is immensely popular among visitors and locals alike so getting there early to avoid crowds is a must. Don’t be alarmed – firecrackers are set off once in a while to eliminate bad spirits in the air and guests can light their own for a small fee.
   
• Can’t get enough of the Thai temples? Head to Patong for a tour of Suwan Khiri Wong Temple which boasts mind-blowing architecture and design both inside and out. Visitors should ensure shoulders are covered before entering as a sign of respect.
  
   

After Dark Destinations

So, get your glad rags on and get ready to paint the town red.
