Riding to Big Buddha by Scooter
Big Buddha is one of Phuket’s most-visited viewpoints, and riding there by scooter is the easiest way to reach it on your own schedule. Chalong is the closest rental area — about 10 minutes from Big Buddha by scooter — with Rawai right next door, together home to dozens of real, available automatic scooters from local rental shops.
Getting to Big Buddha by scooter
Big Buddha is a hilltop landmark above Chalong in south Phuket, and riding there by scooter is the easiest way to reach it on your own schedule. Chalong is the closest rental area — about 10 minutes away by scooter — and Rawai is right next door. Riders based further north in Patong should plan for roughly 25 minutes each way. The final approach climbs a winding hill road, so take it at a comfortable pace.
