One Lonely Planet attraction we just couldn’t avoid falling into is Big Bhudda.
Think the giant Jesus in Rio de Janeiro. Except Thai people prefer ginormous marble
statues of Bhudda, instead.
We started our day in a thuk-thuk cab to Phuket Town, which allowed us to appreciate our smaller
beach town by and far.
(We bargained our taxi to 1000 bhat for a trip from Phuket Town to Big Bhudda back to Kamala, he insisted we help him out by stopping at a shopping center to “look only” for some reason about petrol… After doing a quick look at expensive jewelry surrounded by tourists dressed in actual clothes I figured he was getting a pretty good coupon for gas to bring any tourists there)
The shrine was impressive.
The view was spectacular.
We were lended shawls to put over our bare shoulders and
skirts to put over bare legs.
Then we walked up and enjoyed.
