Visit Phuket Big Buddha (Phuket)

Perched on a hill between Kata and Chalong, this big white Buddha is covered with squares of marble. It is not completed yet and when you look at the design of the project, a lot of time will pass before that it is completed. That may be the reason why Phuket Big Buddha does not appear on the free maps travel agencies or Tourist Police give you. However, the place is already visited and it is a good thing because the donations of visitors who can buy small marble tile that will be placed on the building and write a message on them are necessary to finance the construction. The 45 meters high main Buddha statue is almost completed but the rest like the statue base and numerous others elements around it including a big staircase of 999 steps leading to the Buddha is till in construction. From the platform where the statue is settled, there is a magnificent view over the town and Chalong Bay.
