The island of Big Buddha: Phuket, Thailand



Phuket is one of the most known islands in Thailand, at least for me. If you go to Thailand, Phuket is definitely "must visit". I liked Phuket very much. It was a little different than other islands and cities. This one was more civilized.

Transportation:
I went from Koh Lanta to Phuket by ferry. It takes about 4 hours. We had to change boat ones (in the middle of the sea).

Can you imagine that you have to change the boat in the middle of the sea? We were sitting and enjoying a pleasant breeze and looking at the open sea. Suddenly the boat stopped and we have been said that we have to change the boat. Some other boat came we had to jump a little to the other one with our suitcases, then we continued. 

On the island like in all Thailand, you can go by Tuk Tuk or taxi.

Accommodation:
I booked our hotel on booking.com.
I recommend this hotel. The name is "Cool residence". It is run by a family that lives in the hotel. Staff is really nice and helped us with everything.

They even manage us a taxi driver for 5 hours that take us to see all the most famous places.



Wat Chalong:
It is one of the Buddhist temples. You can find more than one temple in this area.
Everybody needs to wear long jeans, otherwise, they let you some, for free.
The entrance is for free.¨

I can not even describe the feeling when you are there. It was magnificent and beautiful. Everybody was quiet and it created the sacred atmosphere.

It is placed with more than one temple.


It is a magic place.

Big Buddha:
Next thing what should be on your "must-see in Phuket" list.
It is a big white Buddha sitting on the hill with an incredible view.
The rules are the same, you have to dress desirably. The entrance is also free.

You will have to walk a little bit but it is worth it. Just take some water with you.

The Big Buddha is sunshine.

The view is breathtaking.


Be careful! The place is full of monkeys that like to steal from the tourists.






Laem Promthep:
This beautiful viewpoint you can find in the south of the island. I recommend this place, it is amazing. You can sit, breath and wait for a magic sunset. The sun with the sea level creates unforgettable scenery. 

The only thing I did not like there was that the place is already full of people.
