Big Buddha Phuket Tours and Tickets

Q: How can I get to the Big Buddha Phuket?

The Big Buddha is located just off the road that connects Phuket to Chalong. To get there, you can join a guided tour, rent a car or motorbike, or hire a taxi or tuk-tuk to drop you off (or take you there and back). The driving route is well signposted.

Q: What is the best time of day to visit the Big Buddha Phuket?

The best time of day to visit the Big Buddha is around sunrise when there are usually fewer visitors. The light often seems magical at this time. Sunset is also a lovely time to visit, but it can get crowded. Avoid the middle of the afternoon, when temperatures soar.

Q: Are guided tours available at the Big Buddha Phuket?

Yes. Although you won’t find guides for hire at the Big Buddha statue, it is a popular stop on guided tours of the Phuket region. Most tours last around half a day and include the Karon View Point and Wat Chalong. Some also spend time in the city’s old town.

Q: What should I wear when visiting the Big Buddha Phuket?

When visiting the Big Buddha, wear clothes that cover your knees and shoulders, out of respect for local customs. Make sure your shoes are comfortable enough that you can easily climb the stairs in them, but be prepared to remove your footwear before entering the temple itself.

Q: Are there any facilities available for tourists at the Big Buddha Phuket?

Yes, there are some facilities for tourists at the Big Buddha Phuket. There are public restrooms and an on-site restaurant serving beverages and food. Bottled water is available for purchase if you forget to bring your own, and there are plenty of souvenirs for sale at the complex.

Very good tour! Good stops an a lot of Informations. Thank you Tour Guide Karima, wonderful service!

Phuket City Tour with Wat Chalong, Big Buddha & Famous Viewpoints

EarlJonathan_D, Jun 2026

Well worth it but I would advise to book earlier time slots.

Don’t book the 18:00 slot because a couple of the places we visited were closed. We were unable to visit the palace as it was closed, Wat Pho we were in there for approximately 30 minutes before heading off to the next stop on the tour which closed at 20:00 so we were unable to see that but the other places were fine. Iconsiam is the place to be if you want to do some expensive shopping.

Big Buddha Tour

We didn’t go in with any expectations. The trip was an enjoyable one, our tour guide Mawin made the tour. He was very informative and also had a good sense of humour. He made recommendations to us for the best way to get back to hotel as it was peak time. He also stayed with us till can arrived helping the whole time. We didn’t realise the trip included a couple of smaller stop offs like the honey bee farm and cashew farm both were good. It was a good day out without exhaustion.
