Big Buddha

Wat Phra Yai, Big Buddha, Wat Phra Yai, Phra Yai Temple
Thailand, Ko Samui
The temple is located in the north of the island, on road 4171 near the airport. And even from an airplane on approach to the island, you can see a 12-meter statue of the Big Buddha. The temple itself is located on a small island connected to a large island by an artificial dam. There are many souvenir shops, shops with various clothes and jewelry on the island. In front of the entrance to the temple, there is a view of a large paved courtyard, with a staircase in the form of a dragon in the middle. The stairs lead to the platform where the Buddha statue is located, which offers beautiful views of the sea, the beach and the nearby islands. Before stepping on the stairs, you must take off your shoes.

This is the largest Buddha in Phuket, which is visible from almost all points of the island and you should definitely visit it. It is better to get on your own, it will turn out much more spectacular and interesting. M Peace reigns on the territory and bells ring melodiously in the wind. Around the Big Buddha is the largest observation deck in Phuket, from which you can see the island at a glance. The atmosphere in the temple is very spiritual, there are urns for donations everywhere, souvenirs are sold, Thais are meditating nearby.
