&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The Phuket Big Buddha is a 45-meter-high white marble monument that can be seen from everywhere in Phuket&#39;s southern region. This stunning monument is certainly at the top of everyone&#39;s &#39;Must-Do in Phuket&#39; list, and it is a jaw-dropping site with breathtaking panoramic views. The Giant Buddha on Koh Samui has always been a famous attraction, and it appears that Phuket wanted one as well.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;On May 22, 2002, General Phijit Kulawanich, Privy Councilor, lay the foundation stone for the Phuket Big Buddha. The actual name of the Buddha is Phraphutthamingmongkhol-akenagakhiri Buddha, which means &quot;Happiness on Nakerd Mountain.&quot;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot; data-ccp-props=&quot;{&amp;quot;201341983&amp;quot;:0,&amp;quot;335559739&amp;quot;:160,&amp;quot;335559740&amp;quot;:259}&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://cms.pulse-clinic.com/Files/CONTENT/bigbuddha/phuketbigbuddhapulsecityguide.jpeg&quot; width=&quot;800&quot; height=&quot;449&quot; style=&quot;display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The statue is still being created, thanks to donations from the public. If you want to contribute to the completion of the project, you can sponsor a white marble tile for 300 or 1,000 baht, depending on the size of the tile. The Buddha is finished at this time, but the sweeping staircase is still being built.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Despite several turns, the road to the statue is well-paved and simple to ride; nevertheless, on the way down, drive slowly and carefully. When you reach the top of the hill, there is plenty of well-organized parking. A security officer will verify your clothes as you approach the location, and if your shorts or skirts are too short, you will be compelled to wear a free sarong.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The Buddha monument is now accessible through a newly built sweeping staircase. It&#39;s important to note that the stairs are exclusively for climbing; you can&#39;t walk down them. There is a separate path down the slope, and a security officer is stationed there all day to ensure that this regulation is followed. Don&#39;t worry if you forgot to take your photos and selfies the first time around; you can always go back on your way out.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
