Prenovljeni Big Buddha izgleda res impresivno. Kdor želi, lahko položi svojo ploščo na steber s poljubnim napisom na notranji strani templja, kjer je še vedno nedokončan, ali pa obesi zvonček z napisom (predvsem za zaljubljene duše) ... Lep izlet, dobra cesta do vrha in na koncu tudi lep razgled kot na vseh razglednih točkah na Phuketu ... #Phuket #BigBuddha #Thailand
This was the view for our morning swim today. This is a very clean beach, but at times there can be some plastic in the sea. Very unfortunate. If you have the budget, this would be a great area to stay at in Phuket. It is quiet and relaxing. You are also not far from Kata beach which has more of a nightlife if you need it. #Beach

The Beachfront hotel review. This hotel was rated 5 star. The room, the bed and cleanliness of the room was for me 5 star which was excellent.
