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.
It's a wonderful place where you can breathe easier and it's very, very beautiful!!! Sometimes you can meet monkeys)) A very positive and inspiring place on Phuket Island.
A beautiful, iconic place in Phuket, with excellent bird's-eye views of Chalong, Karon, Katu and other bays and beaches of the island. The huge figure of the Buddha fascinates with its size, grandeur and tranquility. Here you can communicate not only with heaven, eternity and people, but also with our smaller brothers - monkeys. Which is extremely interesting and no less fascinating… I advise everyone to visit this place early in the morning and drive here after dark to meet the dawn here. You will get an unforgettable experience! It's guaranteed!
It's a beautiful place, but nothing super unusual.
Admission is free, but for girls you need to buy a cape for your legs and shoulders if you don't have anything of your own. It's a bit expensive if you convert to rubles, so think about it carefully.
Men can wear shorts and a T-shirt.
You can go to the Buddhists so that they say something, splash some water and tie a string on the brush. (Why didn't they tie me up).
In general, it's worth going to see it at least once.
A beautiful place between Patong and Phuket, the view is beautiful on both sides, there are gazebos where you can sit and admire the view, everything is free. The Buddha himself is snow-white, looks majestic. Tip: wear shorts below the knees, a sacred place for Thais, they will not let you into short ones, they will offer to buy a handkerchief for a decent amount (non-refundable)
We really liked it here. Buddha is so majestic. Everything is clean and calm. And there are a lot of monkeys, you don't have to drive specifically to see them. But be careful with them. A bottle of water was snatched from us.
A great place, the beauty around... The view is gorgeous, the photo is just super cool... but there are a lot of people and quite strange ones. But I still recommend visiting Phuket Island in the temple of the great Buddha
An amazing place! For me personally, it's like a place of strength and energy. Incredible views!!! The only drawback is a little dirty construction debris, but this did not spoil the overall impression. And again! Be extremely attentive to the monkeys that live in the parking lot: do not leave things and food unattended - they steal in one touch per second))) And they bite, there are warning signs. There is a stall at the entrance where they sell shoulder scarves and skirts. In January 2024, 150 baht was given for a handkerchief.
Phuket, in my opinion, is an ideal place to relax. With beaches (perfect sand), very good entrance to the water, friendly attitude of local residents and staff, lots of fruits, sea delicacies, in general - I recommend it.
A nice and atmospheric observation deck. You can walk along the temple and see if your soul is clean, (you need the gong to sing from your hands) go up to the monk, make a non-material wish and he will tie your shoelace when it unties, the wish will come true. Beautiful views, monkeys are also walking there
Just a song
You definitely need to get here, there is a panoramic view of the bay, the city, from the observation deck, there are elephants on the mountain and a lot of entertainment for children and adults
An interesting place with beautiful viewing platforms. We got there on foot, from Karon Beach. The road was through the jungle and the private sector. On the way we met a monkey) a swing with a beautiful view and a beautiful house of spirits
Buddha himself has a lot of people, it's better to go in the morning
If you are in Phuket, a mandatory trip here.
It has a very beautiful place and views.
The highest point of the island .
It's very atmospheric.
I want to come back here again and again.
A must-visit .
The main thing is not to approach the monkeys!!
A beautiful observation deck, the whole island is at a glance. In the evening, you can see the sunset. There are a lot of people in the evening, but this does not interfere, there is enough room for everyone. A taxi in the evening is very expensive, for two people they offered 500-700 baht to Patong.
A magical place. The views from all sides are wonderful, the panorama opens - the eye will not cover, it just takes your breath away from the vastness and beauty around.
The place is amazing in its scale (only the statue is 13.5m), the idea is beautiful and correct, but, unfortunately, this place does not have any kind of Buddhist ecclesiasticism. Everything is based on yourself or on the guide, that is, the place is purely tourist, but the proximity to the sky is felt. The pictures are cool, the visibility is unrealistically attractive, the rest is running, because the sun is also closer and there is not much place to hide. To be honest, I didn't catch a full vibe.
The beauty is indescribable, we got to the navigator on a moped. Phuket is amazing in nature, we recommend visiting the place. Get pleasure for sure. We liked it.))
Well, what can I say, to come to Phuket and not look at all this from above is inexcusable, I would even say it is not legal. I took a moped, and quietly dined for an hour on B. Buddha. I'm attaching a photo. Kind of a bomb.
As a tourist attraction, it's interesting to see. The temple is still under construction inside, the passage is closed. The panoramic views are amazing. Mandatory observance of the dress code, it is best to take care of a long skirt for the beautiful half in advance.
1. Take capes for the exposed parts of the body with you, they do not give you free ones;
2. At 18.30 the whole area under the Buddha is closed, it will be fun to kick out, but very loudly;
3. Monkeys on the territory behave as monkeys should;
4. Even if, despite the guards, you hold out until sunset, the sun will be covered by trees (but the sunrise will just be visible from the observation deck in front of the Buddha);
5. Think about the return in advance: The bolt travels from the city for half an hour, and local prices for closing reach 300 per person (bargaining is ineffective due to the large number of tourists per square meter).
It's a special place for me. I received a marriage proposal on the Buddha❤
At 6.30 pm, everything closes and in 10-15 minutes the guard already begins to notify the guests that they need to leave.
Monkeys are running around the territory, it is better not to feed them and not attract their attention.
We wanted to tie a thread, but the monk's working day is even shorter, find out this information in advance.
The most optimal time to visit is earlier in the morning, as there are fewer people. But we drove twice in the evening, and it was cold going up and down the mountain/down the mountain.
It's a great place. The whole island is visible. It is a pity that in January 2024 the Buddha statue itself was under repair inside, it was impossible to enter. Although she went inside in December 2022. Very beautiful. The best time to hang out is before 10 a.m. Then it's very hot. There are a lot of monkeys around. And the most brazen ones go straight into the women's toilet and jump on the sinks))). They didn't let me wash my hands when I came out of the toilet stall)). I recommend it to everyone!!!
It is better to come here on your own, without an excursion, in order to walk slowly everywhere and admire the views. This place is especially magical at dawn. At the entrance, you can take a handkerchief to cover your legs and shoulders. There is a comfortable toilet. There are shops with souvenirs and ice cream.
A cool place to visit. On the mountain, they calmly called a taxi through a local SIM card, which they took immediately at the airport, life makes it much easier. Do not believe if they say that there is no net to catch. It's worth going there in the morning. There's not much to do there.
Beautiful panorama of the west coast of Phuket. The territory is partially under restoration. Going down from the Big Buddha, you will meet monks, for a symbolic amount (any) they will tie a string of desire on your hand under the mantra.
An artificially created place to attract tourists... we walked there in 20 minutes... There's definitely nothing to do the second time... if you go there, then only on your own. Excursions from travel agencies do not give years, but only give little time for jogging. If you go yourself, you will probably have more impressions.... just do not forget that the shoulders and knees should be closed (they will not let you through in another form and will force you to buy clothes there)
just steps. take a photo at the foot of B.Buddha and go forward (i.e. up) the steps. to the left of the statue is an interesting gong, which buzzes from the friction of palms, allegedly the place where the Buddha stepped, leaned on his hand and sat. and macaques. on the way back down, you can sit in front of a monk and receive a blessing and a colored braided rope on your hand. (from 20 baht). the inscription next to the monk in English: put the money in the donation box yourself, do not wait for the monk's command.... )))))))))
The place itself is beautiful, but it is almost not equipped for such a large number of tourists. The story itself is interesting - the big Buddha is not being completed on purpose, because it was predicted that in the year when it was completed, a terrible tsunami would hit the country (((
A beautiful place, an incredible Buddha statue, bought a tile, bought a leaf with wishes, enjoyed the views. No monkeys have been seen, although many say that they are there and there are many of them. Everyone is waiting for the reconstruction to be completed.
Great view from the playground. And of course there are a lot of tourists. If you come here in the evening and leave after closing, then it's not so easy to go back because there are too many people who want to (as if there are more than taxi drivers). Therefore, taxi drivers can charge prices. They say that there is a great view at dawn, but nothing like that at sunset. In general, it is possible to come here, and probably even worth it.
We visited the Buddha! We really liked it! Monkeys live at the end of the observation deck on the right! So, besides the observation deck and the Buddha, you can see how monkeys live in the wild! Very interesting!
A great place to look at the island from above, and for meditation, there is a place to park and any navigator will bring you quite easily, consider the road with a serpentine at large angles if you are riding a moped and you do not have much experience)
A great place to meditate. I saw that some people even make a run to her.
Beautiful views from the observation decks.
I recommend a mandatory visit to Phuket Island.
I recommend walking to Buddha, the hiking trail starts from Karon beach, 3 kilometers through the beautiful jungle, but basic physical training is needed
The grandiose construction of the Thais. The view from the site is very good! You can try to extract sound from copper shields hanging on the street. You can meditate with a minister, you can get a string on your hand from a monk and make a wish. According to legend, there are prints of the Buddha's hands and feet, who rested while sitting on a stone - the prints are fenced and painted in gold. I recommend you to visit!
Well , so - so for an amateur , how would you like to check in that you were here . Free parking to the end and to the left who is on the car, and the girls need to be closed legs and shoulders, otherwise they will not miss or buy 600 baht
Do not visit the Big Buddha while being nearby. 🤔We rode on our own bike from Patong. Be careful, local gopniks in the form of monkeys can arrange a prank. They'll throw a bottle under your feet or over your head. As it was with us. There are details about this on the V TRIP channel)))
It's a great place, but it's better to go by yourself on a moped or tuk tuk. It's a very beautiful view, if you have a sarong or a long skirt with you, then you don't have to buy it at the entrance.
The Big Buddha is looking at you.
An extremely good observation deck. You will see the entire east coast of Phuket. If you want a minimum of people, come early in the morning (at 5:40), you will meet an incredible dawn.
Currently, the temple itself is closed for reconstruction, there are only shops selling souvenirs and a Monk who knits Sai-Sin (a kind of Buddhist amulet)
The territory offers beautiful views of the beaches of Kata and Phuket harbor.
The statue impresses with its size, the view from the mountain is simply amazing, it's worth choosing the time to see it, and it's not expensive, a taxi is a bolt and everything is fine
