Visible from anywhere in the southern part of the island, the Big Buddha of Phuket is a 45-metre-tall white marble statue. This impressive landmark is probably at the top of everyone’s ‘Must-Do in Phuket‘. The site is superb and the size of the Buddha is humbling. with breathtaking panoramic views from the top.
Thank you for sharing your experience for us and had a good trip.
The tour was great, and the assistance from the tour company was even better! We communicated through TripAdvisor with Mandy who replied very fast and helped organise our different pick-up and drop-off locations. On the day our guide was Tina and not only was she lovely but she had great suggestions on what else to do in Phuket and gave good insight to each part of the tour. She also helped make sure we made it to our pick-up safe and waited with us for our boat - thanks Tina! The cashew nut factory was a small stop but had amazing flavours of cashews to taste and buy if you want. We bought honey and Wasabi flavours. The Big Buddha was beautiful (as always) to visit where you can see amazing views, appreciate the culture, and also get blessed by a monk before leaving. The distillery was great for alcohol lovers. The tour itself was a bit short but interesting, and the alcohol tasting was strong for those not used to drinking it straight, so prepare yourself. 6 rums, 2 gins, and ending on a vodka! Interesting flavours though and worth the visit, even if I gave most of my tastings to my partner as he's the better drinker! *sidenote: anyone travelling with a gluten allergy/intolerance/celiac - you cannot eat at the distillery so take some snacks.
Thank you so much for your sharing a great experience and we are happy to hear from you. Hope see you next time.
