Big Buddha

The sitting Maravija Buddha statue is one of Phuket's most prominent tourist attractions and the country's most respected icon. The monument, which stands 45 meters tall above the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata and can be seen from the town, is located between Chalong and Kata.

The peaceful ambiance and chirping birds add to the relaxing ambiance of this location. In the background, soft dharma music and soothing bell tinkling can be heard, while hundreds of yellow Buddhist flags blowing in the breeze form a beautiful scene. The statue is made of reinforced concrete and covered in a coat of Burmese white jade marble, giving it an awe-inspiring appearance.
