Phuket Big Buddha

On our final day in Thailand, we went to see the Phuket Big Buddha on our way to the airport. It’s a majestic 45m tall statue on top of a hill in southern Phuket. We were almost going to skip it because of being short on time, but were so glad we didn’t. The statue is really tall and you can’t help but feel in awe of the structure and the views from atop the hill. The short reads on the spread of Buddhism in South East Asia were nice additions to the monument. Once at the airport, we had some Pad Thai and for one last time because we couldn’t resist, Thai mango with sticky rice. Next up - flight to Bali with a layover in Kuala Lumpur.Read more
