Review for Khao Chi Chan
The Buddha Mountain or Khao Chi Chan is a limestone hill in Na Chom Thian that has become a Pattaya landmark due to its large 109 m (358 ft) by 70 m (230 ft) golden Buddha laser engraving, made from gold - 999kg! The Khao Chi Chan Buddha image is the largest carved Buddha image in the world. It was created in 1996 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the coronation of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, and for Thai people and Buddhists for spiritual practice. The area surrounding the mountain is full of heavy clusters of grasses, shrubs, and trees including teak, acacia, Siamese rosewood, black rosewood, and various fruit trees such as Indian gooseberry, black plum, and ramontchi. The Buddha Mountain is a popular place for leisure activities, mediation, celebrations, and dance performances We visited here during our recent trip to Pattaya, Thailand. Really very peaceful and impressive place to visit, whenever in Pattaya.

A towering Buddha on a mountain side? Whaaaat?
What a sight to see! A mountain that has a golden Buddha towering over you. It’s a free experience, but it’s a decent trip from Pattaya. There are some food & beverage vendors located just outside the sacred area & toilets are available for a fee.

A good site that adds value to a trip to Pattaya
A good site that adds value to a trip to Pattaya. It's a Thai version of Mt Rushmore and Sugar loaf mountain. The mountain has a 24k gold drawing of a giant Buddha, carved (commissioned) by the current king as a celebration of the 50th year reign of his father, King Bhumibol.
