The Big Buddha Phuket is a colossal statue of Buddha located on the peak of Mount Nagakerd in Phuket, Thailand. It is the island's most recognizable landmark and offers breathtaking views of the entire Phuket town and neighboring islands. The statue, made of white marble, sits 45 meters tall and is visible from far away.
The Big Buddha Phuket was constructed in 2004 with donations from local residents and visitors. It took several years to complete the statue and the surrounding temple, which includes a hall of Buddhas, a drum house, and a gold leaf-covered stupa. A temple is an active place of worship for locals and visitors, and visitors are welcome to observe and participate in traditional Buddhist ceremonies.
Visitors to the Big Buddha Phuket can climb the 306 steps up to the platform where the Buddha sits, offering breathtaking views of the island. Along the way, visitors can see smaller statues and temples, as well as donation boxes to contribute to the upkeep and maintenance of the temple. The Big Buddha Phuket is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Phuket, offering a serene and beautiful view of the island and an opportunity to learn more about Thai culture and Buddhism.
