Wat Chalong is a historical landmark and Buddhist temple in Phuket’s Chalong Bay. It’s officially called Wat Chaitararam, but most people refer to it by Wat Chalong. Many locals claim that the temple often experiences many miracles. It’s also known for its pivotal and healing role in the fighting between Chinese secret societies in 1876.

We were very disappointed in the cultural experience tour. Our guides’s name was Boomi. She spent 90% of the tour on the phone. It sounded like she was running another business instead of guiding our group. There were supposed to be 4 stops on the tour but our guide decided to skip the 4th stop and it wasn’t until we point out the the itinerary had a fourth stop that she seemed to know. We were a kilometer from our hotel and she offered to stop and let us walk around our own neighborhood for an hour to compensate us for the missed stop. Our whole group felt that the tour was a complete waste of time and money. WOLO tours really dropped the ball.

I had an amazing experience with Armie on the Cultural experience. He is witty, kind and proud of his culture. Then I had a beach experience with Dee😁. Such a funny girl😂. Made us laugh. She was also creative on what we could do since she had to cancel the boat experience because of the rains and high tides. Found alternatives for us
Army was great and very informative paying attention to all our needs I will give him 100% the tour experience was better than what I was expecting
The experience was amazing and Army made us smile and laugh which relaxed us through the experience. No admission fee was needed and we were there for like an hour. The weather is extremely hot but it was not really packed as I thought
Army-Armie was very informative and welcoming. Continue doing the good job. I had a great experience, meeting new people. I never felt isolated because I was a Solo traveler.
Great way to see some of Phuket’s landmarks and markets, Tom our guide was exceptional gave us great recommendations for food at the old town markets and was very knowledgeable.
We loved the tour and our guide Boom was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge of Thailand and the culture. Old Phuket Town was beautiful and well worth a visit to see the old buildings and gorgeous store fronts. The Chalong Temple was also lovely. We recommend this tour!
Armie was the absolute best🥺. He was friendly, warm, kind, welcoming and so very informative. He deserves the world please. Thank you WOLO for choosing him to be our guide. He made the whole experience unforgettable. What a gem❤️ Ps. He takes the best pictures too 😍
Yesterday we went to the Phuket Cultural Experience, and it was truly one of the best around-the-town types of tours we’ve been to. We saw everything (and even more) from the itinerary and had enough time everywhere to explore and take pictures. Also, throughout the whole trip, snacks, water, and drinks like Coke and Sprite were provided. But, definitely the best part of the tour was Tom, our tour guide, and Liam, the driver. We both agreed that Tom was the best tour guide we ever had. He always took care of everyone’s well-being and needs, and he also gave us lots of information about Phuket and Thailand in general. Truly, Tom is an exceptional tour guide, and we will always remember him when we look back on our trip. To sum it up, you should definitely book this tour; you won’t regret it.
Amazing tour and experience, Army was the best tour guide ever !! Excellent service and extremely informative. Would highly recommend it
