If you are visiting Phuket, don’t forget to come to the biggest Buddha Statue in this town; The Big Buddha. The Buddha statue here is 45 meters high and sits over 400m above sea level on a hilltop in the south of Phuket island and covered in marble.
To reach the temple, you need to climb up the stairs, but it’s really worth the climb because the view from the top are so amazing! I highly recommend you to come to this place.

Phuket Buddha: Spectacular 360-degree panoramic view, beware of the Monkey King
#budjiattractions
The Big Buddha Phuket is a seated Buddha statue, 45 meters high and 25.45 meters wide, located on the top of the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata. Therefore, you can see it from many places in Buji, and it is one of the famous landmarks in Buji. In addition to sincerely worshiping the Big Buddha, the magnificent 360-degree panoramic view is also the reason why the Phuket Big Buddha attracts many tourists.
The entire Buddha statue of Phuket Buddha is made of white jade marble from Myanmar. The Buddha is wearing a cassock, with his right hand gently placed on his knee and his left hand flat with the palm facing up. His facial features are carefully carved, his eyebrows are kind and his eyes are kind, and he sits peacefully on the lotus of the disk-shaped stone carving. Take your seat.
There are also many other Buddha statues and bronze medals around the big Buddha that can pray for the faithful. But if you eat or drink, be careful of the Monkey King's attack.

Our trip to the Big Buddha was stunning!
If you love interesting architecture, do visit the Big Buddha.
It was made of granite and white marble so it gives out cool and calming energy.
The statues were really amazing and they had a meditation class.
I would recommend doing the 7 minute happy meditation while you are here!
Tranquil peaceful vibe!
We enjoyed a serene and breathtaking view from the top too. The sunset was very beautiful.

The Big Buddha on the top of the mountain - a tourist attraction still under construction
#budjiattractions
The Big Buddha on the top of the mountain is a famous attraction in Phuket. The driver of the chartered car also took us up halfway.
The lanes on the road are very sloped, so it is recommended to take a car.
The Big Buddha is built at the highest point and you can see Buji Town.
The interior is still under renovation, so you cannot enter the Buddha.
All prayers and surroundings are on the lower level of the Buddha.
There are many monkeys near the Big Buddha. Please remember not to feed them, as they will follow.

Fun activity to do in Phuket - ATV ride
I had tired the ATV in Phuket, although it was raining heavily, but it was so much fun. Unlike the ATV rides I did in other countries, this ATV ride was through Jungle.
There are four options to choose, half hour ride, 1 hour ride, 1.5 and 2 hours ride. If you choose 1+ hours, you can visit the big Buddha as well. I think 1.5 hours ride is the best.
This ATV ride is a bit challenging, especially when raining. it may not be easy for people who never rode ATV or a car. But you can still try. Overall, I enjoyed the ride very much. #phuket #phuket #泰國

We visited the Big Buddha Hill in Phuket, Thailand.
We stopped for lunch in our way up the hill where we enjoyed delicious Thai food with stunning views of Phuket. After lunch we continued to the Big Buddha. There is no entrance fee. There are 360 degree views of Phuket and nearby islands. You can choose to join the prayers led by the monks in one of the several shrines and get a blessing for your trip.
The place is very well organised and clean. There are public toilets and also small restaurants where to buy some food and drinks.

One of the main attractions of Phuket Island is Thailand's largest Big Buddha statue located in the central part of the island.
👍 Before entering the temple area, women should cover their knees and shoulders - unfortunately, it is not possible to rent appropriate robes on site, only purchase them.
👍 The area of the complex is currently under construction, especially the interior of the temple
👍 It is recommended to get to the top by taxi/scooter - the walking route is very demanding

Phuket Big Buddha
I have no place to go today, so I chose to go and see the Phuket Buddha! The place is not very big, very good to walk, only 6, 70 steps to reach the big Buddha statue. But the surroundings are still under maintenance and the scenery is very good! But a reminder to ladies, no vests, shorts, short skirts, navel-baring clothing! Otherwise, there are staff at the door asking ladies to buy a scarf for 150 baht before they can go up to worship the Buddha!
