Made of white marble, this massive statue isn\u2019t just impressive in size \u2014 it also offers breathtaking panoramic views of the island and the Andaman Sea. It\u2019s a peaceful, spiritual spot that feels worlds away from the lively beach resorts. Visiting at sunrise or sunset adds to the magic, with soft light and cooler temperatures. The area around the statue includes smaller temples and local markets, making it easy to turn your visit into a full cultural experience. Be ready for a bit of walking uphill, but the view and atmosphere make it totally worth it.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><b>Island Hopping<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7581 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-810x456.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/> <img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7582 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"810\" height=\"456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-810x456.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2-1140x641.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.bababeachclub.com\/lifestyle-travel\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/LINE_ALBUM_Blog-ja_251014_2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our private speedboats, <\/span><b>Free Time<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>Free Willy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, are ready to whisk you away to breathtaking nearby islands such as Coral Island (Koh Hae), Koh Racha, and Koh Mai Thon.
