Phuket Island with Big Buddha Tour

Explore the “Pearl of the Andaman” with this half-day, all-encompassing tour of Phuket, one of Thailand’s most iconic islands. After being picked up at your hotel, you’ll be driven alongside scenic beach roads, taking in the natural beauty of the island. One of the tour highlights is a visit to the Big Buddha, a significant and revered landmark perched atop the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata. Standing 45 meters tall, the statue is visible from as far away as Phuket Town and Karon Beach. The site offers the best 360-degree views of the island, with sweeping vistas of Phuket Town, Kata, Karon, Chalong Bay, and more.

Afterwards, you’ll visit Wat Chalong, Phuket’s largest temple, where locals and tourists alike pay respects to revered monks such as Luang Pho Cham and Luang Pho Chuang. A quick stop at a cashew nut grove follows, giving you a taste of local agriculture. The tour continues with a cultural immersion in Phuket Town, starting with a visit to a local food stall to sample popular and delicious flavors enjoyed by the locals. From there, you will explore Phuket Old Town, discovering the incredible Sino-Portuguese colonial architecture, hip art galleries, and classic cafés and restaurants.
