Big Buddha Phuket is a large statue of the Lord Buddha made from concrete and white marble. The statue towers over 45 feet high and visitors can climb to its base to see incredible panoramic views of their surroundings. Though it is open from 8:00am to 7:30pm daily, the best time to go is around 6:00pm to catch a stunning view of the sunset. To explore the Big Buddha, visitors must remember to dress conservatively and wear comfortable shoes to climb the steps up Nakkerd Hills. Visitors will also be able to explore the museum, which is dedicated to the history of the Big Buddha, as well as purchase amulets and other trinkets.
