18-Meter tall statue!

In the 1977 when Pattaya was a fishing village, this temple was constructed and claimed it’s fame due to its size! It is 18 meters tall, sitting on top of the hill, overlooking a part of the city and the sea. The seven headed Nagas at the foot end of the stairs leading to the statue were designed to guard it.

🚌 Reaching the Big Buddha is a quick 20 min drive from Terminal 21.

🎟️The entrance is free

💧There are vendors selling refreshments at the entrance.

👗The dressing code is indicated at the entrance stating photography with the statue is forbidden with revealing clothing.

A great visit for those that hasn’t seen such big statues.
