Big Buddha
Phuket Big Buddha, or The Great Buddha of Phuket, is a seated Maravija Buddha statue in Phuket, Thailand. The official name is Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol Eknakiri, shortened to Ming Mongkol Buddha. Sitting atop
Nakkerd Hill (also spelt Nagakerd) near Chalong, construction began in 2004. Expansion of the base was ongoing as of 2015. By 2017, 80 percent of the project had been completed. It is the third-tallest statue
in Thailand behind only the Great Buddha of Thailand and Luang Phor Yai. A 45 meters -tall white marble statue, it’s worth the walk uphill under the hot sun to see the Buddha up close; you’ll be rewarded with
glorious panoramic views of Phuket from the top.
Phuket walking street
Located in the old town part of Phuket. The 2 main items sold at Phuket Walking Street are food and souvenirs, you may find a lot of things here, whether it is authentic southern Thai cuisine, authentic Thai
handicrafts and gifts under the scenic Chinese lanterns and between the majestic, colourful buildings.
Promthep cape
The place is for sunset lovers. Promthep Cape has one of the best, most beautiful views of the sunset in all of Thailand. You may see its famous view of the sunset all over the internet, but nothing compares to
seeing it in real life. We recommend that you should arrive at least an hour before dawn because of the bad traffic and the limited parking spot. Grilled squid and coconut ice cream are must-tries at Promthep
