We were here on a guided tour on 07/03/2024.
Of course I liked it, it was large-scale, atmospheric, colorful, clean, as in general and throughout Phuket. Construction work is still underway there, but this does not affect the impressions in any way. The view from the observation deck is gorgeous, it is not inferior to other observation decks (there were four more). Definitely worth a visit, the place is iconic, the Big Buddha was erected after the 2004 tsunami.

Write a specific review about Big Budday Phuket
The Big Buddha in Phuket is one of the most famous and majestic sights of the island. This giant monument, located on the top of Nakkerd Mountain, is a symbol of peace and tranquility. As you ascend to it, you feel the atmosphere around you changing, becoming more peaceful and spiritual.
The Buddha himself, 45 meters high, impresses with his majesty and detailed work. It is covered with white Burkite marble, which glitters in the sun, creating a dazzling effect. There are several temples and sites around the Buddha, where visitors can leave their donations and light candles, creating an atmosphere of prayerful concentration.
One of the most memorable moments of visiting the Big Buddha is the view from the top of the mountain. From this location, you can see most of the island, including beaches, bays and surrounding islands. Especially impressive is the view at sunset, when the sky turns in different shades of red and orange.
We went on a sightseeing tour to the observation deck at the Big Buddha. 10 minutes from the main road by small bus uphill. Large parking lots. Sidewalks for visitors. Simple pointers. In July 2024, the stairs were completed, the construction process itself shifted to the temple. It became free. We were in the afternoon and in clear weather - from all sites there are excellent views of the island, the bays and islands. Only one monkey came running, but it was quickly driven away. We had 30 minutes to inspect, but it would have been better to stay there longer. There is a souvenir shop. A monk can, for a small reward, tie you a little faith to fulfill an immaterial wish.
Very clean, neat. There are a lot of tourists, but there is enough space for everyone to walk and take photos.
