Big Buddha, Phuket
Big Buddha in Chalong (Phuket)
Built entirely on concrete bases, and with metal frames in places, thousands of marble slabs adorn this magnificent giant statue.
It is enough to walk around the site, without being a specialist, to realize the immensity of the task, the work accomplished and the work still to be accomplished.
Located at the top of the Nakkerd Hill between Chalong and Kata at an altitude of about 375 metres, this 45-metre high Buddha dominates the entire southern part of Phuket Island.
Whether you are in Karon, Kata, Rawai, Chalong or Phuket-Town, you can see this magnificent white statue, day and night... because in recent weeks, some lighting has been added: magnificent

On the road to the Big Buddha
At the bottom of the hill, forests of rubber trees on both sides of the road give a certain freshness well
With the growing affluence of the site, more and more small shops are set up along the road.
There are small terraces with a view on the bay of Chalong.

The ideal place to stroll along these small roads is of course
the motorcycle or scooter... we stop everywhere, we take the time to enjoy...
Even the elephants are here now and take you away
in secluded corners with superb sea views
A very original bar...
A few hundred meters before arriving on the site, in a bend, this magnificent view on the enormous statue...
Big Buddha lit by a thousand lights
the sun sets off Kata Beach
From Big Buddha, the view on Chalong Bay is splendid
To compare....
The Arc de Triomphe in Paris is 51 metres high
The Big Buddha... 45 meters
Impressive, isn't it?
