The overall experience of this tour was great. It would have been nice for someone to tell us some history about the temples and big buddha. The elephant ride was great! They take a professional photo for you and they also take some on your own camera too!

I had read reviews on Big Bhudda so thought whilst staying in Karon Beach that we would take a look. Picked up one of the taxis on the side of the road and after a 30min journey we arrived. Lots of people hire bikes/quads but I like my comfort & a/c so opted for a car. The views from the... More

Phuket Big Buddha is the highest point in the whole of Phuket. My friends and I were there for 4 hours in May 2012. Besides us there were a lot of people. We saw the lights of the night Phuket. We waited for the tsunami but nothing happened. Someone organized the free distribution of food and water.

I hired a taxi for a few hours to visit the sights of Phuket and one of the places Mr Jack took me was the Big Buddha. There was work happening on the statue but that didn't detract from the experience. It is a very spiritual place and even the animals are relaxed. If you are looking for souvenirs this... More

An awesome very spiritual experience. Still a work in progress. Terrific views to be had of the surrounding areas if the weather is clear.

this is a very big statue. was so great, you can see the statue from karon beach. at 2011 i have visit this also. and now in 2013 i visit it again. and it's still in progress

I'm not the type of person who goes on ATV (quad bike) adventure, but I would highly recommend this experience. We worked through safety, and then did about 10min of test driving, and off we went. First half of the drive is up the mountain to big Buddha. Piece full and beautiful, grean and lushious vegitation. and you can forget... More

We have been to Big Buddha quiet a few times over the years, and a visit to Phuket would be incomplete without going to Big Buddha. Entry fee is free, but donations are welcomed. Best time to go is early in the morning.
