Phuket Weekend Market – Visit Big Buddha and Explore the Naka Market

When visiting Khao Lak, you may wish to shop for souvenirs, clothing, and many other goods, only to find that the selection at the local markets is very limited. Khao Lak is famed for its breathtaking natural beauty, not for shopping, but on the other hand, Phuket is a shopper’s paradise and it’s just a relatively short drive away.

You may ask yourself, “Why would I need to pay for a guide to take me shopping? The simple answer is that you don’t need a guide, you need a ride, and that’s why this excursion is unguided. Why pay the high price of a guided tour when all you need is a ride to get you there and back? Come along with us and share the transportation costs with others. We’ll pick you up at your hotel in the Khao Lak area and shuttle you to two famous destinations in Phuket for a day of big day of shopping and sightseeing.

Upon your arrival in Phuket, we are excited to take you to visit the awe-inspiring Big Buddha at Wat Kitthi Sankaram Temple, a 45-meter-high statue, shrouded in white marble that stands as the third tallest Buddha in Thailand. From this sacred site, you will also enjoy breathtaking panoramic views overlooking Phuket Island.

Following this visit, your driver will drop you off at the vibrant and bustling Naka Market, Phuket’s largest night market. Here, you will find yourself surrounded by a myriad of stalls and shops offering a diverse array of goods, from local handicrafts to delectable street food. When it is time to leave, your friendly driver will return you to your hotel in the Khao Lak area.

Important Program Update

The Big Buddha in Phuket is closed indefinitely due to a recent landslide in August 2024. Because of this closure, we have altered our itinerary and will now be visiting Wat Chalong Temple instead. Wat Chalong is the most culturally significant Buddhist temple in Phuket, offering an immersive look into Thai Buddhism, sure to be an enriching cultural experience. Thank you for understanding and cooperation

Itinerary

Our driver will pick you up in front of the lobby of your hotel around 1 pm. The exact time will be confirmed at the time of booking.

Visit the 45 metre tall Phra Phutta Ming Mongkol Eknakiri statue at Wat Kitthi Sankaram Temple. The Burmese white marble shrouded Big Buddha in Phuket is the third tallest Buddha statue in Thailand and is truly a spectacular sight to behold! The statue isn’t the only noteworthy sight to see when you are there. The 360 degree panoramic views overlooking the island are breathtaking.

We will bring you to go shopping at the Naka Weekend Market, which is the largest of its kind in Phuket. The Naka Market is home to hundreds of stalls purveying almost everything you can think of. Here, you will find clothing, shoes, bags, souvenirs, and a wide variety of food to tantalize your tastebuds with. If your a shopaholic, then this is definitely a place for you.

Your minibus will leave the Naka Market at 8 pm and begin the journey back to Khao Lak.

Your driver will bring you back to your hotel whence you came around 10 pm. The actual time is entirely dependant on the location of your hotel and Phuket traffic.
