Big Buddha
Capture views of the Karon beaches and Chalong Bay from the hill. That is, if you can take your eyes off the mammoth marble Buddhist statue.
It's hard to miss this 45-meter tall marble statue peering down at you as you journey through the south of Phuket. While it's easy to admire from afar, head to the base of the Big Buddha to take in the view and learn more about the impressive statue. As this is a holy site, conservative dress is strongly encouraged.
