Phuket Big Buddha Photo Gallery

The construction of Phuket Big Buddha started in 2002, on the top of Nakkerd Hill in the south of Phuket Island. The site was very hard to reach in the first years and it was not yet famous as nothing was visible from the far and not many people talked about how big it would become. We went up the hill countless times on a motorbike to see the statue and the views. The road was narrow and treasurous, a bit scary on the way down, but it had the charm of a hidden gem! Since then, the site has become the main landmark of Phuket and is easy to access.

We share here many of the photos of the Phuket Big Buddha we took along the years. Read more here about Phuket Big Buddha.
