Big Buddha Pattaya

#passionpassport its a beautiful temple on a mountain . You will walk up a flight of steps with the protective Nagas on both sides and be greeted at the top by the 18 meter tall Buddha statue and a collection of additional buddha statues Ample parking is available and its free of charge to visit i don't know now since it is way back 3 years ago😅😅 This is a lovely little temple, with a large Buddha. There are plenty of vendors selling offerings, if happened you forgot to bring your sarong with you, you can rent for 50 to 100 baht each. We took time just enjoy the serenity of a site. we also did counting the spine of the naga which Thai people believe brings luck. Some lovely views of Pattaya from here and a number of smaller Statues on this site. But I must also mention the adjoining Chinese Temple just a two minute walk from here. I'm sure many people won't see this, but it's well worth taking a look. I spent longer there than Big Buddha. It has interesting features like the pictorial display of the 24 gratitudes, the Zhong Sun garden, Statues of Philosophers Confucious and Lao Tzu. There are information boards around the site in English. Don't miss this adjoining site. (6th photo) #passionpassport
