Buddha Mountain (Khao Chi Chan)

Khao Chi Chan is a famous place as it features a giant sculptural image of Lord Buddha erected on the giant cliff. It was built 1995 as initiative from then Supreme Patriarch who felt it’s such a waste to let these marble mountains were destroyed so he ordered to create the giant Buddha image on the cliff that was cut half already. It was also built to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee.Opening hours: 8 a.m.- 6 p.m. Contact: TAT Pattaya 0 3842 7667, 0 3842 8750, 0 3842 3990 http://www.tourismthailand.org/See-and-Do/Sights-and-attractions-Detail/Khao-Chi-Chan–2667
