The views from the place with Big Buddha are absolutely amazing. You can look at Phuket town, Karon and Kata beaches and Southern part of Phuket island from the high altitude of Big Buddha place. We came to Big Buddha on our feet from Karon beach through jungle trial. It was not so easy after the rain. Be ready for some difficulties if you choose this way to reach Big Buddha.

The views were incredible! You can’t currently enter the area under Buddha as it’s under construction. We went at dawn just after 0630 when it opened to enjoy the sunrise and avoid the heat of the day! It was far more enjoyable without the crowds too!!

Me and my girlfriend went during sunset and it was really good. We did get a big of fog and rain at first but it cleared up and we had amazing views. We got a taxi to the top but you can walk it but it looks pretty brutal so if you're going to walk it be prepared for a hard journey up to the top because its long and steep. If you're in Phuket then this is a must see. Try and go on a clear day or during sunset or sunrise.

Nice view.. After a long hike (or a quick buggy/motorbike/car ride), which takes you along a windy uphill road, bringing you along cafes with incredible views, you arrive at the Big Buddha. Climb some more steps to get to the top - and you’re there. The statue is much bigger than expected and is fascinating to look at. There are several interesting signs that explain the history of it, provide background facts, more signs that tell you about Buddhism etc.

I have been to Phuket many times and never made the effort to go see the Big Buddha. I was very impressed that we can literally drive up to the bottom of the Statue. So very little effort walking. The views were amazing. I only disliked the amount of donation boxes were everywhere for all kinds of purposes. Felt a big much

Beautiful serene place. Buddha mantra chanting makes you feel very peaceful and calm. Its bit far from main city, but worth the visit. Beautiful views with majestic buddha statue. Walk around the statue gives a sense of calmness. There is also a possibility to seek blessings of monk. Total visit shouldn’t take more than 30-40mins. Overall a nice place to visit.

I have been to the big buddha many times. It is a nice place to walk around and relax. You can get blessed by a monk, admire the great views, and pray if that is your kind of thing. Ladies, please wear clothing that is suitable or you withh have to cover up. Watch out for the monkeys. They seem friendly but will steal anything they can grab. It's definitely worth a visit.

Less strict for exposing legs than Bangkok sites such as the Grand Palace however it’s still expected to cover below the knee and shoulders. He is a pretty big Buddha! Lovely monument with great views from the top of the mountain you would likely have driven up. There are many other smaller statues to see also and an area where the monks will bless you and performing prayers. If catching a grab be aware you’ll likely need them to wait on you to return as taxis aren’t sitting up here, the good news is, at least for us is that our driver was happy to wait an hour for us to get around without charging us extra.

The big buddha together with Wat chalong is something that you can't miss when in Phuket It a short walk from the car park to the Big buddha. Be respectful and please note shorts and singlets not allowed. The magnificent view from the top is stunning and breath taking. The big buddha is like eyeing on you no matter from which view. Beware of monkeys snatching your belongings when you are there.

Wow, just wow! The Big Buddha in Phuket is even more impressive in person than the photos suggest. Standing at the base of this majestic white marble statue, gazing out at the endless ocean views, I felt a sense of peace and awe wash over me. It's no wonder it's considered one of the island's most sacred places.
