Big Buddha Statue

Phuket Big Buddha
Thailand, Phuket
The Big Buddha statue in Phuket is not only one of the main attractions of the island, but also the tallest seated Buddha statue in Thailand.

The statue is made of concrete covered with white jade and topped with a golden pointed cap. The construction of the Big Buddha took 135 tons of white marble donated by Buddhists from neighboring Burma. In addition, there is a small museum dedicated to the construction of the facility, and religious services are often held.

Best viewed from afar, the statue is a majestic landmark facing the sunrise, sometimes hovering above the clouds. Close up, the proportions are not winning, it turns out to be somehow small. If you're going to get there. then you need to be prepared for a large crowd of people and a very boring review. A completely different impression when you see it from the southern port or the beaches of Karon Beach, Kata Beach. As the guide said, they began to build it in memory of the 2004 tsunami, we saw an unfinished picture.
