The Big Buddha

  Rising prominently at 45 meters tall, The Big Buddha can be found at the Nakkerd Hills in Phuket. This iconic statue, completed in 2014, symbolizes peace and was built as a tribute to Thailand’s Buddhist community. Visitors often come to admire not only the impressive structure itself but also the panoramic views of the island from its vantage point. The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the light brings a warm glow to the marble layers. While there, you can also explore the surrounding temple grounds, which feature intricate carvings and serene ponds.
