The Big Buddha Phuket

The Big Buddha Phuket is an impressive 45-metre statue made of white marble. Sitting on Nakkerd Hill since 2002, the magnificent monument is a must-see attraction in Phuket. Not only for its religious and cultural significance, but the 360-degree views overlooking the South of the island are an attraction in themselves.

More than just a monument, it’s a profound symbol of faith and a must-see for anyone wishing to understand the local heritage. The Big Buddha is not the only gem in this area; it’s surrounded by a rich tapestry of cultural experiences. Nearby, you can explore traditional long-tail boats dotting the coastline.

Just a scenic 40 minutes by car from the Mercure Phuket Patong Journeyhub, a visit to the Big Buddha Phuket perfectly complements your cultural exploration.
