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 ...

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

On the way to Phi Phi. Always wondered what lay beyond that turn. Travel tip - hire a speedboat. Expensive , but I did see them going into little corners I was dying to explore

5. Kata Noi Beach

Kata Noi – meaning Kata “small” Beach – is a world away from many of the larger tourist beaches on busy Phuket Island. About half a mile (800 meters) south of Kata, Kata Noi stretches between two headlands at the end of a dead-end street. The beach itself is half a mile (800 meters) long and, on some days, almost deserted. Said to be one of the prettiest beaches in Phuket, it benefits from being on the road to nowhere, and for this, those in search of utter peace can be thankful.
