Built on a patch of virgin rainforest on Khao Nakkerd Hill, the #PhuketBigBuddha is one of the must-see attractions on the island. From the statue’s base, visitors may enjoy breathtaking views over Chalong Bay and Phuket Town. Make sure to save this for later ✈️

A plethora of diving day trip options, with Racha Yai & Racha Noi being perfect for beginner divers with opportunities to see cuttlefish, mantis shrimps, pufferfish and so much more. Seasoned divers would appreciate the deeper King Cruiser Wreck reef that is frequented by schools of snappers, barracuda, rabbitfish, goatfish, and occasionally the odd whale shark for those lucky divers. Many operators will offer to pick up from Paradox to the morning boat where you can spend a full day excursion to these dive sites. Alternatively, for a bigger thrill, private or chartered speedboat diving is also available. Families also can enjoy chartered trips to one of the many beautiful islands of Phuket to snorkel with corals, schools of fish, and the occasional turtle. Introduction to Scuba Diving is also available at Paradox Resort in one of our on-resort pools.
