We decided to soak up some Thai culture and walk around Chalong Temple to find out how it came to be and what can be found there. This journey to us to the Main sermon hall, the wax monk exhibition room, and the Grand Pagoda where the relic bone of the Lord Buddha himself resides.

This relic was brought to Thailand from Sri Lanka in 1999 and has remained in a glass Chedi at the top floor of the Grand Pagoda ever since.

“Being this close to Buddha’s relic was special”.
