Beautiful place to chill out and relax. We went at 9am to catch the guy feeding the monkeys. We even spotted a wild boar. We have been to both restaurants there, once for lunch and the other time for dinner, both highly recommended. There is a small shop where you can pick up snacks and a toilet is next door (10 baht). The viewpoint has sweeping views of Phuket Town, Chalong Bay and the Panwa Peninsula. A must visit if you are in the area.

The view is amazing! There are several steps and it’s not handicap accessible. There’s a cute restaurant with the best Thai tea. It’s for sure worth checking out.

    The Big Buddha in Phuket is a breathtaking attraction that captivates with its majestic presence. The colossal statue, standing at 45 meters tall, offers stunning panoramic views of the island. A must-visit destination. However, be prepared for crowds during peak hours and watch out for monkeys ?that like to steal your wallet ?

    Arriving at the Big Buddha on a bike was already a delightful experience for me. The winding road leading to the Buddha was incredibly scenic, surrounded by lush trees, and offered glimpses of monkeys and elephants available for rides at a fee offered by locals. There’s ample parking near the Big Buddha. I rate the panoramic view of Phuket from the Big Buddha site as the highest highlight. The view is truly mesmerizing, providing a sweeping sight of almost the entire island. However, one downside is the evident need for some restoration in certain areas; many sculptures seem old and in need of care.
