Phuket has plenty of Buddhist temples and Islamic mosques . But none top the 45-meter-high Big Buddha. Towering over southern Phuket , this white marble statue is famous for its great big smile. Read more

If you like to bring something special from here, you can ask the monk to bless you and he will put a special bracelet made by them. Please don't forget to give donation what your heart desires.

Sheer size, impressive sight! Free entry. Lots of donation boxes, its up to you. Its a sacred place of worship, cover up pls. A stall with sarongs to cover modesty for a minimal baht.

Richard Burkhill

A very impressive location for a Buddha with stunning views over the south of Phuket past the Phi Phi islands on a clear day. There is a short 3 flight climb to the Buddha and a carpark.

Been here many times and I loved this place, coz also I have many friends live there. Memorable Big Buddha Phuket. Thailand. With love from Jakarta, Agustinus Purwadiyanto.

The structure is huge and has awesome views to the east and west coast of Phuket. Even if you don’t like Buddha’s, do the drive up for the views alone.

Tomáš Minarik

View , not only to Buddha is amazing. Not too crowded yet. Don't forget to cower your shoulders and knees before entering the place

Jacqie Chai MChee

Free entrance and can borrow sarong or scarf to cover for tourists . Beautiful place and good spot to see whole Phuket scenery from top of mountain

The Big Buddha is really a very nice place to visit in Phuket especially during the subset when the monks make the evening chanting... www.incomingasia.com

Take Thai Bhart with you. No ATM or visa here. Ladies - cover up and be respectful. Amazing views . Beware of cobra snakes. No western style toilets . 300 BHT for a small tile to help with construction .

A massive Bhuda on the top of a hill . You can see the whole island from there and have a glimpse of the Buddhism philosophy.

Phuket's Big Buddha is definitely a must-see. Standing on the Nakkerd Hills , climbing up this beloved structure will give you an amazing view of the town and the islands .

A wonderful place with a terrific atmosphere. Harmony is everywhere! The view point is one of the best all over the island . Strongly recommended!
