A visit to Phuket is incomplete without climbing to the top of Nakkerd Hill to gaze at the 45-metre seated Buddha in Subduing Mara. Not only is the marble statue an awe-inspiring sight, but the vantage point on the mountain offers 360-degree views overlooking the south of the island. This magnificent Big Buddha statue is located near the popular Wat Chalong Temple, which is the largest of its kind in Phuket.
Opening hours: 6:30 am – 6:40 pm
