The 7 Biggest Hiking Trail near Phuket
Trail to Big Buddha
It took me about 30 minutes to get to the top of the trail and another 10 minutes all the way to Big Bhudda. I did the ascent in the middle of the day and it got quite hot, so be prepared and bring some water. Did the descend just before sunset and that was a bit easier and quite a bit faster. Its slippery though.
Like other people mentioned, use decent shoes. Also there are some electrical wires which you should probably avoid.
All in all, nice little adventure.

3 weeks agoNot an easy hike, but if you’re up for it it’s a nice and rewarding adventure. The climb is stiff. Bring close shoes for hiking and don’t forget water. The heat in the jungle during the day is harsh. Good luck.Related articles:- Food Review at Kor Panich, Bangkok
