Phuket Big Buddha

On our final day in Thailand, we went to see the Phuket Big Buddha on our way to the airport. It was a majestic 45-metre-tall statue on top of a hill in southern Phuket. We were almost going to skip it because we were short on time, but we were so glad we didn’t. The statue was really tall and we couldn’t help but feel in awe of the structure and the views from atop the hill. The information panels on the spread of Buddhism in Southeast 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, mango sticky rice. Next up was a flight to Bali with a layover in Kuala Lumpur.Read more
