Big Buddha Phuket

The name says it all: Big Buddha Phuket, sitting 150 feet tall on a high mountain, is one of the major landmarks and most visited sites that doesn't involve waves and sand, on the Thai island of Phuket.

This Buddha is 25 meters across at the base, and made from white marble. Located atop the Nakkerd Hills between Chalong and Kata, the site is perfect for quiet contemplation.
