2. Karon Viewpoint
Try to make a list of the must-see locations in Phuket, and you will have to include Karon Viewpoint, a must-see location in Phuket that offers sweeping views of the lush surroundings and white beaches. It is a popular site situated east of the island, so go there early in the day to beat the crowds. What’s more, you never need to worry about transportation! It is accessible via bicycle, rental vehicle, or taxi from all Phuket luxury villas. To simplify traveling there, you may hire trip guides if you’d like. Sunbathe on Karon Beach and check out the elaborate Wat Suwan Khiri Khet Temple, a famous house of worship!
3. Phuket Old Town
Explore the historic Sino-Portuguese alleyways with their exquisite shops and old houses! Phuket’s old town is a great place to spend a couple of hours, especially if you like to explore little bakeries, cafés, and restaurants. Take a tuk-tuk and go to Thalang Road, the most well-known of Phuket Town’s historic streets! On Sunday, don’t miss Phuket Walking Street for the opportunity to sample a variety of mouth-watering regional cuisine.
4. Big Buddha
The Big Buddha, a famous 45-meter-tall white marble statue atop Nakkerd hill in the southern part of the island, has been ranked the third most visited place in the area! In 2002, work on this statue began, and many local people and visitors donated money for its compilation! You may also contribute by sponsoring a single tiny white marble tile, and you know what? You can also add your name to it!
Remember that Big Buddha is a sacred location rather than a landmark or tourist attraction, so behave accordingly! Wear modest clothing, and don’t be too raucous while you visit this place. It would be ideal if you also tried to speak quietly, as this is a place of worship!
