It seems that every province of Thailand must have a 'Big Buddha', and Phuket is no exception. Still under construction is this large image of the Buddha (more properly known as: Phra Puttamingmongkol Akenakkiri Buddha), gazing down upon Phuket town. Though uncompleted it is a busy tourist attraction, both for Thais and for foreigners.
The Buddha is located approximately 10 kms to the south west of the town of Phuket. From the base level of the Buddha, which is itself a hill, a fine view of Phuket city and its surrounds can be had. Entry is free (though, feel free to make a donation or to buy something).
