【Thailand Pattaya】A Stunning Giant Buddha on a Cliff Face

Located about 30 minutes by car from the center of Pattaya, Thailand, 'Wat Khao Chi Chan' is a must-visit spot during your trip to Pattaya! While Thailand is home to numerous temples and Buddha statues, it’s rare to find a place where a massive Buddha is depicted on a cliff face like this one‼️

📍How to Get There
From Bangkok to Pattaya:
• Take a bus from Bangkok’s Ekkamai Bus Terminal to Pattaya, which takes about 3 hours (buses run approximately once an hour // Fare: 131 Baht // Around 590 JPY).
• From the center of Pattaya, Wat Khao Chi Chan is about a 30-minute drive.
⚠️ There are no buses or trains directly to Wat Khao Chi Chan, so if you don’t have a car, consider taking a taxi or Grab taxi from the city 🚙. If you’re worried about transportation, joining a tour is highly recommended☝️

📍Admission Fee: Free
📍Opening Hours: Daily 06:00-18:00

The premises are not very large, and you can explore the area in about 30 minutes📸. Since the midday sun can be intense and very hot, don’t forget to take sun protection measures✊. Visiting early in the morning when it’s cooler is highly recommended☀️. Additionally, there are souvenir shops, restaurants, and small cafes on-site, so you can take a break if needed🉑.
