You definitely need to visit! First of all, Big Buddha in Phuket is one of the most iconic places. Secondly, it is really possible to get a talisman and fortune-telling here. Third, it's a great opportunity to take just "crazy" photos. The 45-meter-high statue is located on Nakkerd Hill and is not only a religious symbol, but also an excellent viewing platform. ,Advantages: 1. Impressive view: From the top there is a stunning panoramic view of the surrounding area, including beaches and the sea. 2. The atmosphere of mysticism: This place is ideal for Buddhist retreats. By standing in a small queue, you can receive the blessing of a monk, he will sprinkle you with holy water, tie a bracelet to protect you from impiety, and remove spoilage. Be sure to try yourself at rubbing gongs. If you can rub it until the sound appears, then everything will be fine. Don't forget to scatter the coins in the bowls and ask the question that is important to you right now. Get a positive response if there are enough coins to throw into all the bowls. 3. Accessibility: Big Buddha is easy to find and there are good roads leading to it. This is a popular place for tourists, so you can meet a lot of interesting people. ,Cons: 1. Crowds of tourists: It's quite crowded here during peak hours, which spoils the atmosphere a bit. 2. Climate: Due to the hot climate, it is worth preparing for the trip in advance, taking water and sunscreen with you. Big Buddha leaves an unforgettable impression and allows you to better understand the culture and religion of Thailand.

Поднимались сами по тропе и это того стоило! Посередине пути есть кафе, где можно отдохнуть и восстановить силы.

A very interesting place to visit. The scale of the sculpture is impressive! It is spread out in such a way that it can be seen from tens of kilometers away, even from neighboring islands! We arrived with our family by car. There was a traffic controller at the entrance and showed me where to go. Large free parking, there was a place. It takes about five to seven minutes to walk from the parking lot to the central staircase. There is a table in front of the entrance, and employees offer long shawls to women whose clothes do not comply with the rules of initiation for money. In my opinion, short shorts and open shoulders should be covered. The cost of the handkerchief is 200 baht. They offer it very unobtrusively, so some people whim without following these rules. On the approach to the central staircase, on the left side there are very beautiful benches made of tree roots. We were between 12 and 13 o'clock, and there were a lot of people. It's difficult to take a picture without someone else getting into the frame)) There are magnificent views from the top! Please note that according to the rules, after climbing the central staircase, they go down the other one so as not to turn their backs to the Buddha. But, I repeat, the attitude towards tourists is very loyal and with the understanding that many people do not know these rules, and there are not signs everywhere. A monkey was walking on the landing in front of the central staircase and begging for water and food from tourists. The total time of the walk, taking into account the inspection of all locations, took just over an hour. I recommend a place to visit
