EasyTicket Phuket Big Buddha
📍 Thailand Phuket 나커드 힐
Phuket Big Buddha is a signature viewpoint on Nakkerd Hill in Phuket, where a huge white Buddha statue on a southern Phuket hill comes with views of both coasts.
It's a good place to add when planning a Phuket itinerary in Thailand, but operating conditions can vary by season, so it's safest to check the official information before visiting.

Useful tips
- It can be hot and crowded at midday, so visiting in the morning or late afternoon is more comfortable.
- Travel times within the island are long, so it's better not to force beach areas and Phuket Town into the same day.
- When calculating the driving route, the official note that there is no local bus to the summit means you should confirm round-trip transportation first for a less stressful itinerary.
- Since this is presented as a place for both religious activity and views, dress to temple standards. If the weather is overcast, prioritize safe movement over the view.
