This is a cool place with a great view! Annoyingly people fly drones around which spoils the atmosphere. But if you at sunset you can see it in the day and then lit up at night which is beautiful. There is nothing inside, but you can walk around and there are meditation spaces too. They have a dress code of shoulders, belly and knees covered so make sure you’re dressed appropriately. The views over the bay are wonderful too. I recommend spending about 15 min here.

If you happen to be in PHUKET then Big Buddha visit is must. It's not about religion but about place to cherish for life. At this place the view of the city is just astounding. We were there on a sunny day and the entire city view was just mind-blowing. I would definitely recommend it to be part of you city tour. Place has a different charm and you feel calm with the entire surrounding. If you are spiritual (which I am not) then you would love to spend longer time at this place. Enjoy your visit to Big Buddha and please share your experience....

Get blessings from the monk, make donations, send blessing and requests… other than all the Buddhism goodness, it is quite cooling in shaded areas as it’s on a mountain top. Although parts of the Big Buddha is still under restoration work, it’s the best time to donate and add a marble tile, I’ve made wishes in 2019 and life has been much better even during COViD period. Now I’m back for thanksgiving and to strengthen the faith. Though I’m non-Buddhist. The viewpoint here of all the island … is amazing!!! Very nice for photo taking too!!!

After a long hike (or a quick buggy/motorbike/car ride), which takes you along a windy uphill road, bringing you along cafes with incredible views, you arrive at the Big Buddha. Climb some more steps to get to the top - and you’re there. The statue is much bigger than expected and is fascinating to look at. There are several interesting signs that explain the history of it, provide background facts, more signs that tell you about Buddhism etc. So if you’re in for it, you can even learn something while you’re here. Descending again, you’re led through a prayer room where monks offer a sit down praying session for free. Outside, there’s also a 7-minute meditation session. Really enjoyed all of it. Views are incredible on a sunny and clear day.

It's a nice place to look at scenery from but it's half-finished, probably due to COVID-19, so lots of rough edges. Quite literally in fact for the steps and pathways which are still rocky and jagged in places. I think the sculptor didn't quite get the face of Buddha right though cos he has a quirky expression on his face that you won't find anywhere else in the world. Probably worth seeing just for that, I suppose.

This is a cool place with a great view. Best place to watch sunset. There is nothing inside, but you can walk around and there are meditation spaces too. They have a dress code of shoulders, belly and knees covered so make sure you’re dressed appropriately. The views over the bay are wonderful too. I recommend this place in Phuket.

I would give this holy attraction a 5-star BUT- it TOTALLY, TOTALLY depends on what time of day in the rainy season- and I was there in rainy season. You start to see it about 10 miles away and the statue is magnificent. As you get closer you travel up the road and see elephant 🐘 riding, and a tiger park. 🐅 Many people park lower and get rides up top. There are also eating places btw. There is parking at top. There are many stalls, mostly trinkets/memorabilia and snacks. Two bathrooms 🚻 one outside and the other inside. It is free to enter! The view towards the statue is magnificent, if clear. Maybe 20 steps to the top and the Buddha is enormous, meticulous. There are posters telling the famous people who are Buddhists. There is a space on the side and priests are praying 🙏 🤲

Great location! Very big Buddha as expected ;) Got to see a monk and received even blessings and a handmade bracelet. It is advised though to make a small donation to support the maintenance of the statue and of course the monks in that area. There is even a small secluded area for monkeys so that humans won't interfere with them but still be able to live a normal life. I really liked that and we saw a few monkeys even climbing out of their little reserve to get a few close up pictures with them. Great day

One of the most visiting and favourite places in Phuket, personally I love to go there early morning with sun comming up..you can see sport lovers running up to hill 🙂 there is a lot of great opportunities along the way up for some amazing pictures- animals,flowers,landskape as well as amazing statues in the whole temple complex. Or just very nice 4,5km conditioning walk.. Please don’t forget decent dress code as T-shirt with sleves and longer pants.If you forget you can borrow for 20bth some sarongs to cover up if you want go to see Big Budha statue. Definitely if you visit Phuket is an one of the 🔝 places to see! PS: In day time is pretty packed with tourists,so definitely pay back to wake up early!

(Translated by Google) I like it amazing Build size is not yet finished well. But here, if it's completed Will surely be as beautiful as a paradise I want you to go up and watch Looking down to see Phuket town, the whole city is beautiful 🤫😀😀🤫 (Original) ชอบครับน่าทึ่ง​ ขนาดสร้าง​ยังไม่เสร็จ​ดี​ แต่ที่นี่ถ้าสร้าง​เสร็จ​ จะสวยงามเหมือนแดนสวรรค์​แน่นอน​ อยากให้ขึ้นไป​ชม​ มองลงมาเห็น​เมืองภูเก็ต​ทั้งเมืองอยา่งสวยงาม🤫😀😀🤫

I love to visit Thailand temples. This one did not disappoint we are very happy that we made the treck up the mountain,the view of the ocean is amazing and the Buddha is covered in marble. The construction is not finished yet. And I will be utterly amazing once it has been completely finished. It's still a must see when you're in Phuket

Great place in all means. Sacred, grandeur, picturesque. You will find a lot of shrines, sculptures, and votive elements here. The gong is must have, too. Views from the top are breathtaking. The Big Buddah, thank you for being here and providing spectacular experience for visitors.

Beautiful Statue. Picturesque views if Phuket all around. Be careful of the monkeys. Some of them are nice but some have violent tendencies. Ladies- very important- there are people there they try to make you buy a sarong from them because they feel your dress is short or your shirts are not long enough. It’s a scam , even if a guard blows his whistle at you. Don’t fall for it.

The Big Buddha is impressive in size, with wonderful views from the observation deck. Parking and toilets are free. There are several stalls with drinks, and even clothes. Shoulders and legs should be covered. You can also buy a skirt and a scarf on your shoulders there for 100-150 baht.

The views are the best thing about this site. I can also appreciate the cultural value it has. I’m not religious. So, that aspect I only appreciate I respect the way in which Buddhism has beautifully shaped the people here. The big Buddha is certainly awe inspiring to see. I think it is worth the trip.

This is definitely a place to visit when visiting Phuket a very popular spiritual place for Thai people. The view from the top is pretty impressive as you can see a large part of the Phuket coastline.

The Big Buddha is a remarkable piece of architecture. It truly lives up to its name of 'Big'! There are many ways of getting there either through arranged tours or hiring a motorbike, just be careful of all the up hills! There are things to buy to give thanks towards the temple, such as small golden hearts to write messages on. It has free entry as well which is a bonus. The views are stunning. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is that it is just so quick to do. Not much else, you just turn up take photos of the Big Buddha and leave.

Lovely views from the top, nice and quiet at the moment so you can get some nice snaps too. It's free to visit, but do try to leave a donation in one of the boxes. You must cover your knees and shoulders but can borrow a shawl if needed. Be aware of the cheeky monkeys who can get quite excited if they think you have food, or a handbag so take care. Scenic views, impressive big buddha plus other pretty areas to explore. However, the only reason this is 3* is because there is still quite a lot of works going on underneath, workmen and trucks etc, but still good to visit.

Nice place

Phuket's Big Buddha is one of the most important and revered landmarks on the island . The huge image sits on top of the Nakkerd Hills ...

👍🏻

One of the best relaxing and peaceful place you ever can visit. Roads to this temple are bit tricky with steep curves and bumps but once you reach the top it's a heaven. The view up from there is absolutely stunning and will defenitely appreciate the creation and creators of that bhudha statue. It's a mist visit place when you are at patong.

(Translated by Google) A must-see in Phuket. It is worth visiting this temple because it is a cultural gem. We can see many interesting figurines there and take a lot of beautiful and iconic photos. You can often find monks praying there, which is also an interesting experience and a spectacular view. With a bit of luck, if there is no fog, you can see the beautiful panorama of the island from there. (Original) Obowiązkowy punkt programu na Phuket. Warto odwiedzić tę świątynię bo to kulturowa perełka. Możemy tam zobaczyć wiele ciekawych figurek i zrobić mnóstwo pięknych i kultowych zdjęć. Często można trafić na odbywające się tam modlitwy mnichów,co jest również ciekawym doświaczeniem i spektakularnym widokiem. Przy odrobinie szczęścia,jeśli nie będzie mgły, można stamtąd zobaczyć piękna panoramę wyspy.

It's worth it just to see the panoramic views of the island. The statue is huge 45meters tall. Tip: depending on the time of year you need to get there before 1030a so the shadows are not on the front face in your pictures. Go on a clear sunny day. To the far left balcony viewpoint you can see the monkeys. But don't feed them.

It’s a good place to go, strict religious place. To all women be aware of proper long cloth! The view is good but not amazing. This place is still a construction side but it’s already good to look at.

Beautiful place on the top of phuket. Where nice view on the south east and west side to admire. Since it is very hot during day time wearing a hat helps against the sun. Walk down the "monkey" path on the right side from the buddha statue instead of the regular stairs is recommended.

So dope…Went to temple..Saw a gigantic Buddha..Got blessed by a monk..Your soul just seems to be at peace here..I’m not even religious but I can feel the holy vibes..Everything is free to explore here..So make sure to donate a little something to the Monks..Be prepared for MONKEYS!!! I’ve never seen a wild monkey up close…Crazy experience..Will go back one more time before I leave for sure!

in my opinions, big Buddha is the symbol of phuket. a Buddha who sits on top of a mountain and sees all of phuket and we see him from all parts of phuket!! if you come to this temple, be sure to wear appropriate clothing, if not, you will be given a scarf at the entrance to cover your feet. this is a construction site and you can help by buying pieces of white marble. it is very interesting feeling to be part of building a place that remains for the future. there they sold bells and pieces of metal that you could buy and write your wishes on it and hang them. there were thousands of wishes where the wind blew them and the wishes happened! from the top of mountain ,the view of the forest, the beach and the ocean was unique and very beautiful. do not miss meeting the big buddha on your trip to phuket!

It's a must-visit for 2 reasons, the beautiful scenery ; From a cultural and religious aspect. If you here on a fine day, or at least not raining, you're treated with stunning view of the landscape of Phuket. I was there on a cloudy day and it was surprisingly cool with nice wind. It made the stair the Big buddha. Do bring an umbrella and water bottle, you'll be glad u did. As for ladies, there are guidelines on how to dress, you may wish to bring along a scarf to cover up your upper body, and a beach sarong to cover up your !

A must visit when visiting to Phuket. It has such good vibes and peace there. The location is at an high altitude and the whole city can be seen from there. There are breathtaking views along with constant breeze. The architecture of it is also great with whole white finish marble. There are multiple small shops, places along with itself.

A must visit when you visit Phuket. The location is at high altitude and the way to reach there is full of greenery and beautiful. After getting to the top you will get the whole city view with cooling breeze. Architecture is great with white marble finish. A tip for my fellow ladies traveller - there are few guidelines about the dressing, carry 2 scarf if you are wearing off shoulder tops or shorts. This place has such good and peaceful vibes there.

No visit to Phuket would be complete without visiting this great vantage point. We visited in July 2022 and it was reasonably quiet and parking was really easy. There’s the usual stalls selling hats, clothes, drinks and ice creams - all reasonably priced. Overall a great way to spend an hour and take in some fantastic views. Mind the monkeys though, they can be a bit overly confident if you look like you have food.

Enchanting place and an enchanting environment. The climb to the place is steep but worth the effort. You can park easily at the destination. The view is breathtaking and you can see the all sides of Phuket Island from the place. The temple is still under construction, but the statue of Buddha looks magnificent. There is no entry fee to the place, but donation is appreciated at the place. You can also buy some goods, whose proceed goes into charity.

Awesome structure and entire Temple. very neat and clean. Along with Buddha, Hindu deities like Ganesha can be seen on the way up, these statues are beautiful. Once up, views are breathtaking. Dont forget to put on sunscreen if you are going in afternoon. Visit is worth the time. And if you love riding, then mountain roads are going to amaze you.

Very beautiful place. 360degree view of the sea from this place. Need to wear below knee length dresses for ladies. No ticket, free visit. It is at the top of the hill. Can go by car or two wheeler.

Amazing place. The views from the top are stunning and the ability to leave your mark and support this amazing endeavour is really something. We contributed and left a little bit of ourselves here, and experienced something of an epiphany under the statues gaze. Being blessed by a monk was the icing on the cake.

Note: females are asked to cover up (during opening hours staff ensure this). So I suggest taking a towel/ sarong/ shawl. The rules were no shoulders showing, cover to just past the knees. (And they pulled some women up on cleavage). The view is beautiful and several monks were chanting and ‘praying’ over people who knelt and gave them a donation (they also tied bracelets on during the ‘prayer’). Sunset was the perfect time to be there (and a very popular time).

I'm glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience visiting the Big Buddha in Thailand! Here's a sweet review to capture the essence of your experience: Visiting the Big Buddha in Thailand was an incredible experience that left me feeling peaceful and rejuvenated. From the moment I arrived, I was struck by the serene atmosphere and the beauty of the surroundings. The statue itself is truly magnificent, and it's hard not to feel a sense of awe and reverence in its presence. As I explored the area, I was struck by the attention to detail and the care that had been put into every aspect of the design. From the intricate carvings to the lush gardens, it was clear that this was a place of great significance and importance. But what really made the experience special was the sense of calm and tranquility that permeated the entire area. Despite the crowds of tourists and visitors, there was a palpable sense of peace and stillness that seemed to wrap around me like a warm blanket. All in all, I would highly recommend a visit to the Big Buddha in Thailand to anyone looking for a peaceful, contemplative experience. Whether you're a seasoned traveler or a first-time visitor, you're sure to be moved by the beauty and serenity of this incredible site

Absolutely magnificent. I love to visit The Big Buddha every time I come to Phuket. It has been two years since I have been here and they have done so much great construction on it. I can’t wait to see how it looks when it is completed. It does not cost anything to visit. They will check your temperature and make sure your shoulders and knees are covered. You will see the most amazing views.

Need more accelaration to drive uphill. Accessible from the main road, free parking and also free entrance. Reminder to the ladies need to wear appropriate clothes. (No short pant or too expose the skin) Nice view and can see 360° surround the big Buddha.

The statute is beautiful and there are other smaller monuments and things to do at the base of it. We were blessed by a monk and received a tibetan string bracelet. We hiked up from our resort which was an amazing hike, however it is steep and slippery at times so don’t do it if you struggle climbing steep slopes!

Simply stunning. The view from this place is awesome . The big Buddha is nicely built with nice craftsmanship. The place has too many monkeys 😅 if that bothers you. We visited around 8 am so no one was there and we felt like VIPs, so would recommend visiting in the morning to avoid crowds and better clicks .

LADIES, TAKE A SHAWL AND A LONG SKIRT OR TROUSERS TO YOUR ANKLES to cover all your skin. Me and my brother hiked 3 hours to get to The Big Buddha. We managed to make it to the bottom of the hill until we had to call a taxi to take us to the top. The hill is very steep and would take a very long time to walk up. Alternatively, you can also take a quad bike up the hill as well. You also pass a tiger park on the way up which allows you to touch the tigers. The view from the top of the mountain was gorgeous, but the clothing standards for women is very strict. LADIES, TAKE A SHAWL AND A LONG SKIRT OR TROUSERS TO YOUR ANKLES to cover all your skin. Otherwise they will make you buy a substitute. This clothing standard does not apply to men. You can get blessed by a monk and there are special places for people to sit and mediate. It was a centring experience despite there being many tourists.

The Big Buddha statue was amazing! The view was also stunning as well. However, when I pulled up the directions on Google Maps, it pulled up car directions and then the last bit was only walking directions (saying I couldn’t get there all the way by car). So we did the hike up to Big Buddha and it was BRUTAL. An hour and a half of straight uphill. I run a mile everyday and this was hard for me (I did lose my inhaler so that might have added to the difficulty). When we reached the top, we realized that cars can go all the way up to the top. My advice: Go to Big Buddha. It is beautiful, but take a car.

Generally, an amazing view, but it is usually very crowded. You need to go there either in the early morning, either later before sunset. There are many stairs and you should anticipate wearing comfy shoes.

It’s a holy place with magnificent views. The staff working there definitely needs some training in being hospitable. First things, it’s enormous statue and has some breathtaking views. You can see different islands from the top.(beware of the monkeys, they will pull away water bottles,glasses etc) Onto the staff, the dress restriction is only on girls. Men can wear shorts and aren’t stopped. Also, my dress and the sarong they made me buy where same length.

Great place to have a view of the island as well as to watch the sunset. I recommend riding your bike to the top of the hill since it is the most convenient way and the daily rent of a bike is cheaper than taking a taxi both ways.

Booked an experience of ATV to the Buddah. Such an amazing experience! It's still under construction but the big Buddah is Big! It has such a wonderful view and on a bright sunny day excellent pictures. To be respectful, No short skirts/bikinis allowed. Refreshments are available to purchase from small stores and very cheap. You can walk up the stairs and admire the view! STUNNING!

Very nice place to go to. If you like hiking, walk all the way up this big hill. You can learn a lot about the different Buddha's and get an awesome view down at the city and ocean. Nice souvenirs and you can donate to the monks

This is a beauty in Phuket. Entrance is free, and you can reach the place via Bolt taxi. Mornings will be the best time to visit as there will be less heat. During the daytime, it's super hot. It offers a scenic view of the sea and will ensure a peaceful vibe. The Big Buddha is a religious place of the Buddhists, so make sure to wear appropriate before visiting.

Arriving at the Big Buddha on a bike was already a delightful experience for me. The winding road leading to the Buddha was incredibly scenic, surrounded by lush trees, and offered glimpses of monkeys and elephants available for rides at a fee offered by locals. There's ample parking near the Big Buddha. I rate the panoramic view of Phuket from the Big Buddha site as the highest highlight. The view is truly mesmerizing, providing a sweeping sight of almost the entire island. However, one downside is the evident need for some restoration in certain areas; many sculptures seem old and in need of care.

Very cool place to visit. The Big Buddha is much bigger than you would expect. Not overly crowded either so you’re able to take time to walk around and get pictures. Incredible views of Phuket from the top, worth the trip up. Be aware of the monkeys on the grounds. Watched them steal a bag of chips from one person and a water from another. There are taxis stands outside that can get you back into town.

The view from the top is really worth a lot. I would prefer not to mention the renovation, but this place seems to be liked by the Thais and they are repairing everything there that can be renovated. Despite the inability to enter inside the Buddha, it is worth spending some time to see this large monument up close. And by the way, ask about religious behavior or just look at them closely

This is great statue with inspiring view, but when I was there, there was a construction, a lot of tourist were walking under it and were taking photos on the big stairs, so do I.🤗 From the edge with marble fence you can see the view of all the island Phuket, it is such type of masterpiece!! Very green land with blue ocean water around. Once in your life you should see that! And it’s too hot there, don’t forget to wear a hat to cover your face from sun)) and it’s quite hard to go up this enormous stairs and I was a little bit exhausted 😑🙂 Thank you for reading my review! Good luck, my friend!! P. S. Look at the photos down there 👇☺️😇☺️

It's a magical place. Though I am not a Buddhist, I am moved by the teachings of Buddha and I respect him from the bottom of my heart. That's another reason for me to be a bit biased. There's a lot of activity going around, a lot of small structures and artefacts to see and enjoy. When you visit the place, make sure you bring enough time with you if you really want to observer the full temple. They encourage to ware dresses which cover until your knee, shoulder and chest. So, make sure of that.

It’s around 8-9 hilly drive to mountain top where the Buddha Statue is reacted. I personally enjoyed the journey more than the destination. You can enjoy the view of Phuket from this point. Must visit place if you’re here

Great views from up here. Also, the ride from the city till this place was amazing.

Great place to visit. The 45 meter marble Buddha statue on a mountaintop offers incredible panoramic views. The Big Buddha is a remarkable piece of architecture. Its really huge. You need to follow dress code here. If you forget to dress probably the places offers clothes free of use while you visit the place. Toilets were clean and staff was cooperative. It was one of the highlight of Phuket city tour. City tour will give you 50 minutes here. Its very nice for photos. It has free entry. Ample parking space available. Definitely worth visiting!

Big marvellous Buddha statue on top of a hill

Stunning.

Get the rental bike and drive to their and the view of the top is breathtaking. If you are in Phuket then this is must visit place I would recommend some snacks if you use the rental bike then you can enjoy the same when coming down from the top.thers is restorent at top along with ice cream parlor. Reach as early as possible morning view is amazing.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful, but if you take into account that the construction is carried out on donations, then they will build another 20 years. (Original) Красиво, но если брать во внимание, что стройка ведётся на пожертвования, то строить будут ещё 20 лет.

Nice area for tourists and a great view of Thailand and the sea beyond. Very relaxing and religious with people praying. There are many gift and souvenir shops around. Sometimes you need to look out for monkeys.

Absolutely amazing! Must see if in Phuket.

Amazing place. They know to be in good heart.

Beautiful Statue. Picturesque views if Phuket all around. Be careful of the monkeys. Some of them are nice but some have violent tendencies. Ladies- very important- there are people there they try to make you buy a sarong from them because they feel your dress is short or your shirts are not long enough. It’s a scam , even if a guard blows his whistle at you. Don’t fall for it.

The Phuket Big Buddha was being heavily renovated when we went there (which is why it was free at the time). If you buy a trinket or two, it helps them with the building costs. The 'big' part was very cool, the view was amazing and the little stories and additional statues dotted around were fascinating. We travelled mid-June 2022, it was a rainy day and there weren't heaps of people (which was great, I try to avoid queues and crowds). Even with the renovations, this is still an experience I'd highly recommend.

Amazing views and great for photo-taking. Very nice cultural place to visit but there were some construction going on. Hard to find a cab as the driver has to go up/down the mountain. Best if you find your own driver as the taxi providers at the attraction charge high prices. One even got angry at my driver for picking us up.

This place has some amazing views and you can see everything from this height! You walk up to see an amazing view right in front of you, get ready to take many pictures. Enjoy the meditation up top next to the big Buddha and enrich yourself with some of the huge bays and beaches you can see around.

Great spot for a day tour. Tue statue is huge and you can even be a part of it by buying tiles and put your name on it. The statue is made entirely on donations! Unfortunately for us we went on a rainy day, so we couldn't see the beautiful views from the top. You can even see Phi Phi island on a clear day. But other than the rain it was great.

Lovely place to visit for half a day. Had a good wander round. Some fantastic views on a clear day. We had time to have a good walk about no one pressuring to buy or donate. At the end we were blessed by a Monk. Very thought provoking place..

One of the few places with free entry but opportunity to donate is there. Whether you want to donate a marble tile, get blessed by a monk or buy a souvenir. The views are probably the best you can get. The statue itself is beautiful and the area quite clean. Some tourists let the place down as they don’t show respect with their clothing choice and chose not to cover up with the available sarongs. Otherwise a must see attraction.

We’ve been in Phuket for 2 months now and busting the big Buddha had been on our list since day one, but the weather in Thailand changes very quickly so we waited for the perfect blue sky We were so happy when we visited. It’s very different from other countries where it seems like a money grab where they want you to pay to get in, they want you to pay for anything and everything. The big Buddha was completely free no entrance fee. You can roam around pray or you can take a free 7 minute meditation class. They give you bracelets called blessed ropes. It felt so spiritual and not a money grab, I loved that. We were so happy we ended up donating a lot but because we wanted to not because we were forced to

A wonderful place to visit to capture the Buddhist culture in Phuket. An amazing and imposing statue overlooks the whole of the southern half of the island. The view is spectacular. Warning: the walk up from Kata or Karon beaches is very tough and only done early morning. A very tough 1km stretch with ropes to help you up the steep slope.

Must read, especially for female travelers. You could save 250 BHT. The entry to this place comes with guidelines on appropriate clothing. That would mean that skirts, dresses etc. above the knees or sleeveless, off-shoulder, crop tops etc. don't qualify as appropriate. It appeared to be more stringent for women than men. At the entry, a team of 2-3 people would check for clothing and will ask you to buy a covering cloth i.e. Sarong, Shawl or both to cover up. Shawl is 100 BHT and Sarong is 150 BHT. I saw a lot of tourists who seemed a bit unaware and hence had to spend the money on the spot. There is no entry fee otherwise. The place is exquisite and definitely worth visiting. The journey to this place through country roads is beautiful and good roads and scenery make it even more enjoyable. Other attractions like tiger park and elephant stables are on the way. You could feed the elephants and get some pictures clicked. Dirt bikes are also available for the adventure seekers, some travelers were seen using those for the last few miles distance. The statue is amazing and prolific. The views from the height are exhilarating and there a couple of designated view points for pictures. There is also a 7 minute guided meditation available for everyone. I would recommend a visit to this place, especially on a self-drive motorbike instead of vans as you can then explore some good cafes on the journey, like Art Cafe.

We arrived with literally 10 minuets to spare and were welcomed in by very friendly guides. It was just enough time to rush to the top of the many stairs and take in the few. It was well worth the taxi ride up. There was some great views out to the coast which were also worth it. The monkeys were quite cheeky and tried to grab water bottles etc so be careful.

A big Buddha statue is located at this place. There are around 90 stairs to climb to reach the place. There is no lift to reach at the top, the view from here is amazing. Ladies need to wear long skirt here else have to buy sarong which is available at the entrance for 150 baht. The place was currently under renovation when we visited in Aug 2023. The place does have a very positive vibe. Also, be cautious of the monkeys they are aggressive and will take anything from your end including your glasses. There is no ticket here.

Awesome place, deffo worth to give it a visit. The feeling the temple gives is super peaceful and I had great fun visiting it. The climb up the stairs might have been a little uncomfortable, considering the weather conditions when I visited. There was some real interesting and informing material all around the place, especially down in the temple. Also got blessed by a monk.

I visited the Big Buddha in Phuket on a cloudy day. Despite the ongoing temple construction, the serene ambiance made it a worthwhile visit. The sight of the majestic statue and the peaceful atmosphere created a unique experience. While the weather wasn't ideal, the spiritual aura and the glimpse of the unfinished temple added an interesting touch. A one-time visit to the Big Buddha offers a blend of tranquility and cultural insight amidst its ongoing development.

After visiting the Tiger Park we came up to see the Big Buddha. The drive up the hill was nice. The view from above was amazing 👌🏻 The Buddha statue was huge and made of white marble. The place had few view points where we could see Phuket from above. I would recommend this place to others.

Not sure how much this is a place of worship and respect or an Instagram opportunity for the majority of visitors. Building work incomplete. Drive up the hill is chaotic with tourists on quad bikes. Not sure what I made of the experience its not tranquil or relaxing with so many people. Views from the top are great if you can get a clear view with so many others there. I'd say certainly visit but you'll find better temples elsewhere.

Big Buddha located approximately 30min. away from us and we were able to see it from that far because of its height. It was really peaceful there. If you are going to Phuket, i recommend you to visit Big Buddha🙏 Tip: Shorts,Tank tops etc.are not permitted to wear there. Please bring something to cover or dress up accordingly. Although they give you there a cloth to wrap around for 150 baht. I hope this helps🙂

Very interesting to see. The view from the top was awesome. Looked to be in a bit of disarray in places. Please don't disturb the monkeys and heed the warnings. We saw a monkey steal food from a child and the dad got very aggressive with it, caused more harm the just letting it go.

It's worth the visit! It's really beautiful, the surrounding area as well, with other statues, the list of famous people who chose Buddhism, the monkeys close by (don't get close, though) and the sea view. Too bad there is nothing to visit inside. To be respectful, you have to cover your knees and shoulders, but I did see people in shorts and tank tops too. There is no entrance fee.

Very serene and beautiful place to get 360 degree of Phuket. It has big area where u can sit with family and enjoy the view, provided its not hot and sunny. Ladies needs to wear full clothes with arms covered and even men need to be in t shirts. Too many photo opportunities and one can spend an hour or 2 easily.

The Big Buddha Temple is a very attractive place. It has clean toilets. The entrance to this place, which is on top of the mountain, is free. On the west side of the temple, there is a beautiful view with playful monkeys, be sure to take care of your desail so that it is not stolen by the monkeys. There are a limited number of shops where you can buy drinks. From the motorcycle and car parking area, it is a two-minute walk to Buddha.

The Buddha statue is magnificent. Located at 400m above sea level, you can have nice panoramic view of the surrounding area and even Ko Phi Phi at a distance. The temple build is in progress and rely on public donation and funding. We spent about 30 minutes at the location. Please ensure you dressed decently for the visit.
