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.
