The Phuket Big Buddha, or the Great Buddha of Phuket, is a delightful sight and a must-see in Thailand. Situated atop the beautiful Nakkerd Hill near Chalong, it rises 45 meters high and is made of concrete covered with stunning white marble. The majestic statue depicts the seated Gautama Buddha, with its hands held in the Maravijaya Attitude posture, and it is said to have cost 30 million Baht and been sourced from donations. It serves as an important symbol of Buddhism and adds to the unique and vibrant skyline of this mesmerizing city.
