Overview

PRIVATE EXPERIENCE: 2-6 PEOPLE PER GROUP ONLY Hello! My name Is Sunsanee. I am local Thai girl and this is a page about my family business that I making with soul and an open heart. We have 200+ 5-STARS reviews on Airbnb and travelers usual says that this experience is amazing and probably the best start of the day. I am really happy about that! Morning ceremony with a personal guide in the most famous temple in Phuket – Wat Chalong. We will meet at sunrise at 7 AM to explore the temple in a majestic morning atmosphere. It’s only you and a few local people who come to pray at sunrise time. At first, we will pray with the monk and participate in the morning ritual – the most important ritual in the Temple’s day. **It's only 1000 characters available in product overview section at TripAdvisor/Viator. But there is a lot to say about this private Ceremony. So you can continue reading in section Itinerary (TripAdvisor) and What To Expect (Viator).

Itinerary

  • Chaithararam Temple (Wat Chalong)

    After the ritual, we will bring food to the monk (I will give it for you). Food bringing is one of the most important in Thailand –in Thai villages you still can see how people especially wake up early to give food to the monk. Because that ritual brings luck to your day.

    1 hour

  • Phiphitthaphan Rup Muean Chao-athikan Wat Chalong

    Also, we will make a prediction by Siamsi fortune-telling. Siamsi sticks – is a traditional Buddhist way to predict the future. Many centuries Thai locals using this ritual to get answers about the future - there are more than 28 different predictions, I will translate your prediction for you from the Thai language.

    15 minutes

  • Khet Aphaiyathan

    After this, I will bring you around the temple to give you a small excursion about Thai Buddhism. I am from a traditional Thai family, I have a lot of interesting stories to tell. We are not a big company – we are a local family business. Our target is not to make money so Normally group is a pretty small - only 1 to 4 people. So most of the tours going in private style. It helps to keep the best tour quality and keep the morning atmosphere. Skip the tourist traps and explore temple like a local.

An absolute must-do, especially for Westerners looking to learn more about Buddhism. Stunningly beautiful temples.

Published on Dec, 2024

A beautifully serene and peaceful educational experience. I shed tears as I listened and participated in her “tour”. The early start makes this visit so perfect because you beat the heat and you avoid the throngs of tourists arriving as many many tour busses show up just as you’re leaving. I feel so fortunate that the monks allow us to quietly invade their space for this experience.

The Guide took time to answer every question. She is very kind. The ceremony was perfect, I enjoyed a lot to make it

Amazing experience!

Published on Nov, 2024

Amazing tour! Sunsanee is a fantastic guide and explained the different aspects of Buddhism and the different rituals, ceremonies stories and beliefs of Buddha and the monks of the Wat Chalong. So special to be able to take part in a morning ceremony with a monk, seeing the temple early almost empty. Would highly recommend!

Great Opportunity

Published on Nov, 2024

This was an incredible experience. I was looking to learn more about the Buddhist culture, so seeing a temple was definitely on my travel list. Not only did I witness the temple before everyone else (wonderful picture opportunities), but I was able to learn about Buddhism, Phra Phrom, and small references to Hinduism. The ceremony was everything I expected it to be as well. I believe it to be very beautiful, and this experience only justified my belief. I highly recommend if you are interested in the teachings of Buddha, and the practices that follow.

Incredible Cultural Experience to End My Trip to Thailand

Published on Jul, 2024

It was the best experience I could have to finish my trip to Thailand. The immersion in the local culture and religion left me feeling rejuvenated. Highly recommended!
