This temple is a melting pot of faith for Buddhists in Phuket and nearby areas. The story of Luang Por Chaem's great charisma is a page of history that Phuket residents will never forget. Even today, both tourists and Phuket residents still travel to pay homage to his statue, as well as another famous monk, Luang Por Chuang, at Wat Chalong, also known as Wat Chaitharam.

The park is located approximately 30 kilometers from Phuket City. Occupying an area of 90 square kilometers, the park has a 13-kilometer beach. Formerly known as Nai Yang National Park, it was declared a National Park on 13 July 1981.
