Phuket\'s Big Buddha
Made with Burmese marble with a base of 25 meters in diameters, Phuket Big Buddha, Praputtamingmongkol Eaknakakeeree, is the largest Buddha and a well-recognised landmark in Thailand. From the Buddha site you would have the panoramic view of the island and its beaches Kata, Karon & Chalong Bay.
When you are there, make sure you play the rubbing gong and see if you can make any sound out of it. According to the legend, only the wise ones can make the gong sing. If you fail in your first try.... don\'t worry.... deep your hands into water and try again!
How to get there: Follow Chao Fa Road East near Chalong.
Opening Hours: From 08:00 – 19:30.
