Big Buddha

Phuket, Thailand

The Phuket Big Buddha, begun in 2004 and sitting atop Nakkerd Hill, commands views stretching over Chalong Bay. The white Burmese jade marble sheathing is visually striking against the green hills. Arrive early to avoid the midday rush and feel the peacefulness the site aims to embody.
