Big Buddha temple is located almost an hour away from the old town Phuket, the temple opens at 6:30 AM in the morning and closes at 6:30 PM in the evening. The route to the temple is quite scenic with majorly uphill road. You’ll find a lot of elephant in sanctuaries in between where you can make a pistol either while going or maybe while returning to feed the elephants.

Outfit: One should be wearing appropriate clothing, according to the temple regulations, only then the entrance is allowed or else you will have to buy a scarf or a pant from the temple before making an entrance to the temple. However, these regulations look like only imposed on the females and not the males as I could see a lot of men wandering around in quite short pants and sleeveless T-shirts, which would ideally be a beach wear. This seems as a biased behaviour towards the females. I have attached the pictures for the reference. Ladies, Please wear a full pant or maybe something which would cover your knee as well and the tops too cannot be off shoulder or sleeveless. You will need to cover it with a scarf.

Transportation details: The cab to the big Buddha temple can be a little expensive than the usual ones because it is a tourist place and would suggest to book cabs for the two way as the cab drivers do not accept through the applications and demand for extra money after even after booking it through the Applications like grab.

There is not much of walking or stairs while climbing to the Buddha temple. The view from the big Buddha temple is very scenic and the sunsets can get really beautiful depending on the weather of the day.

There is also a small golden colour Buddha Temple located on the left side behind the big Budha temple This also looks equally mesmerising into the eyes.

10 minutes Meditation can also be done on the left side under the tree with the help of the Buddhist priest present there.

There is public restroom washrooms available near the parking area. Be careful while you use the washroom as there are a lot of monkeys around even in the washroom.
