A 45-meter statue of the Big Buddha, an orchid garden (about 1500 species of these exotic plants grow there), a snake farm and other interesting places in Phuket can be discovered by anyone exploring this Thai island along with a tourist map.
Unusual sights of Phuket
Temple of Wat Phra Tong: unusual in that there is a golden bust of Buddha with head and shoulders (they say that something happened to those who tried to dig the statue out of the ground entirely, so it was decided to build a temple around the statue), as well as gilded statues Buddhas in different poses. Those who wish can buy amulets and other religious paraphernalia here.
Monument to the heroine sisters: it was erected 6 km from the city of Thalang in honor of the two sisters who managed to organize the defense of the island during the Burmese invasion. In March, festivities and costumed performances are held on the square in front of this monument.
What interesting places to visit in Phuket?
Even without delving into the reviews, tourists will understand: it will be interesting for them to visit the Trick Eye Museum (there are 4 thematic halls - a mirror and halls dedicated to humorous reproductions of famous paintings, Thailand and travel, paintings with heroes of films and cartoons; all visitors of this the museum will manage to take funny photographs) and the mining museum (the basis of the exposition is made up of exhibits in the form of life-size diarms, which tell about the history of mining and objects that allow you to learn about the development of various national communities in Phuket).
