“If you are in the south part of Phuket near Karon, you might spot the Big Buddha from afar as it is an impressive 45m white marble statue at the top of a hill. It is worth a visit just for the panoramic views which are spectacular. ”

“Beautiful, clean, cozy, popular and large Nai Harn beach with magnificent waves, clean sand and nice local cafes.”

“Very touristic beach due to a very beautiful scenery and many restaurants around.”

“Karon Viewpoint (which used to be Kata viewpoint) is one of the most frequented viewpoints in Phuket. From here, it is possible to take in views of Kata Noi, Kata Yai and Karon beaches. Located between Nai Harn and Kata Noi beaches, the viewpoint is busy most days of the year and is a staple of many tour itineraries. Called locally ‘Khao Saam Haad’ (Three Beaches Hill), the local municipality for some reason has officially renamed it ‘Karon Viewpoint’. It’s located just to the south of Kata Noi Beach and looks out directly out to the Andaman Sea but most people have their cameras trained due north at the undeniably impressive eight-kilometre vista of the three west coast beaches with Mom Tri’s Villa Royale in the foreground and the distant Hilton Arcadia on Karon Beach in the background. ”

“Karon is one of the most family-friendly beach. It is the longest white sand beach in Phuket and it is 6 km from Patong beach. It has nice restaurants, shops, bar, hotel and resorts. There is an easy walkway between Kata and Karon beach. There is also a local bus runs between Kata and Karon beach. ”

“Crystal clear water, white sand, beautiful tropical beach ideal for swimming. ”

“Phuket Big Buddha Big Buddha Phuket is a 45-meter-tall white marble statue visible from anywhere in the southern part of Phuket. It is probably at the top of everyone’s ‘Must-Do in Phuket‘, and for a good reason. The views from up there are breathtaking. The statue is built with people’s donation and is still under construction. If you feel like doing something to help to finish the broad base of the Buddha, you can sponsor a piece of white marble for 300 to 1,000 baht depending on the size. Phuket Big Buddha started in 2002 as the foundation stone was layed by General Phijit Kulawanich, Privy Councilor on May 22, 2002. The official name is ‘Phraphutthamingmongkhol-akenagakhiri Buddha’ that translates as “Happiness on top of Nakerd mountain” Is there a dress code for Phuket Big Buddha? It is a tourist attraction but it is also an active temple with monks, so remember to dress appropriately and not to speak too loud as we often hear, unfortunately. At the entrance of the path leading to the temple, security will check your attire. No sleeveless, no short or skirt above the knee, so if you wear too short skirts or shorts, they will hand you a free sarong and ask you to wear it. All along the way, you can buy snacks and drinks, but of course, no alcohol is allowed. ”

“White sand beach, not over crowded but quite popular. More relaxed than other beaches. One of my favourite. If you go to Kata Beach you have to try Kata Noi Beach (Noi meaning little in Thai).”

“Great coffee and fine cuisine, get your breakfast there to energize you for day of adventure.”

“If you are in Phuket, you should visit the big Buddha. It's an incredible ride up the mountain and the views are truly stunning... If you would like a spirit be there at 6.30 h in the morning. ”

“Nice atmosphere for a relaxing afternoon in front of Kata beach for food, and drink. The pick-up or drop off of your shuttle bus is usually opposite of the Surf house. However, always check with the driver. ”

“If you are looking for an extraordinary beach to go snorkelling on, there are plenty to choose from on the island; however my absolute favourite choice is Ao Sane Beach (near Nai Harn). This beach is a well kept secret on the southwest side of the island and is small, measuring a mere 200 meters in length.”

“Sinbi Muay Thai Camp in Phuket Thailand is a traditional gym which focuses on providing excellence in Muay Thai training. Its location near the most beautiful beach on Phuket, Nai Harn Beach, makes it one of the most desirable gyms on the island to visit and train at. Sinbi Muay Thai gym exists to support and train our young Thai fighters as well as to provide real Muay Thai training to students from other countries who wish to improve their fitness/technique.
