Vacation Diaries: Part - II (cont.) The Temple Run

There are certain places you can’t describe in words, cause words won’t do any justice to what your eyes see. The beauty of the red and gold against the sea of blue skies needs to seen to actually fathom the beauty of the sight and architecture. The serenity and peace that your feel when you behold the sight of the Wat Chalong temples is something else.

Then you have the Big Buddha, a huge statue (please don’t ask me how big), overlooking the entire Phuket, is simply breathtaking. Walking up the stairs to the stupa, makes you feel as if the the statue of Buddha is looking at you and welcoming your with a gentle smile. It doesn’t matter who you are, what’s your race, gender or nationality, Buddha is welcoming you with a Peaceful smile, calling you to him to find peace.

The view from this place is simply breathtakingly beautiful. The endless blue skies and the emerald green sea, the number of boats speeding through or just rowing away, and the islands. And when the sun goes down it makes you feel the whole sky has been lit up in the orange glow of the setting sun, as if it has been set on fire. 

All this makes you feel truly blessed to feel alive, to have an opportunity to see these places and take in these sights, to truly enjoy what Phuket has to offer you.
