Question
Can you get from Kata Beach to the Big Buddha in Phuket by taxi?
Insider's Response
Yes, you can take a taxi from Kata Beach to the Big Buddha — it’s a convenient option. However, access to the statue itself is currently limited due to a landslide that occurred in 2024.
An equally stunning view to the one from the Big Buddha hill can be seen from the new viewpoint. We’ve already been there and filmed a video.
