Travel Guide for Phuket Big Buddha
⛰【Attraction Guide】
📍Detailed address: Yot Sane 1 Mueang Phuket District, Phuket, Thailand
🚗Transportation Guide: 1⃣️Taking a taxi🚗, Grab is more likely to accept orders compared to Bolt, as Bolt is cheaper and drivers are generally reluctant to accept
2⃣️At the foot of the mountain, choose to ride an ATV all the way to the top where the Big Buddha is, and then ride the ATV back after visiting. Depending on your schedule, choose the rental duration accordingly. If you're not in a hurry, rent it for a longer period to enjoy the experience
3⃣️Walking, this requires a lot of physical strength. Walking on the main road might take half a day. They usually choose to climb the mountain path, which is steep and has a dangerous section⚠️I walked down the mountain and felt like my legs and butt were done for. Just before reaching the foot of the mountain, I met two European guys walking up, very admirable!

3⃣️Next to the viewing platform, there is a restaurant🍴and along the way, there are shops for renting ATVs and even elephant riding activities.
