A temple to give peace of mind
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 5/13/05
I visited the temple at about mid-day when it was very hot. But this did not reduce the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the place. I had specifically called to pray in a holy place following the death of my 20 yr old cat in UK during my absence. Following the Buddhist Prayer ceremony uplifted my spirits and I could not have wanted to be in any other place to celebrate the passing of a dear pet. There was however a lack of persons belonging to the temple to explain in detail the correct procedure. I had to rely on the kind host who took me to the Temple Complex.

Wat Chalong
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/3/04
I really liked this temple. The main building on three floors was splendid. The murials on the walls are really striking. From the top you can get some good views of the surrounding area. There are stalls around the Wat where you can buy souveneirs etc. Its not a long visit, an hour at the most but well worth it.
