Phuket during King Rama V’s reign.
Wat Chalong

people of Phuket put down the Angyee, or Chinese Coolie Rebellion, in 1876 during
the reign of Rama V. There are also statues of Luang Por Chaung, and Luang Por
Gluam, abbots of the temple during later times.
How to get there : Wat Chalong is about 8 km outside town. Take Vichit Songkram
Road to the Bypass Road and turn left, and drive for about 10 mins. Wat
Chalong is on the left.
Wat Phra Tong
This temple enshrines a golden Buddha image that sprang up from beneath
the earth long ago.
The story tells of a young boy who tied his buffalo to what he thought was
a post. After doing so, he fell down in agony and died. The father of the boy dreamed
that the reason his son had died was for the sin of tying a filthy buffalo to a sacred
object, that what the boy thought was a post was in reality the golden peak of the
Buddha’s conical cap. He told his neighbors the dream and they all went out to dig
up the statue but had no success.
