A hidden gem that's more beautiful than expected 🙏🌤️ When it comes to tourist spots in Suphan Buri, many might think of Sam Chuk Market or Bueng Chawak. However, there's another serene and faith-filled check-in spot: Phra Phutthaputthayakiri Si Suvarnabhumi (Luang Pho U Thong), or as locals call it, "Luang Pho Yai" 🛕✨
This Buddha statue is located atop a mountain in U Thong District. It is a massive Buddha image carved into a cliff, standing tall and visible from afar. The surrounding atmosphere is peaceful, making it a perfect place for meditation or paying respects for good fortune 🌄💛
The path up features a long staircase with stunning views of U Thong town, including fields and surrounding mountains. Photography enthusiasts will love it, especially in the evening when the sunlight casts a golden glow on the Buddha, creating a breathtaking and tranquil scene 📸🌅
🌿 At the base, there is a temple and a spacious parking area, along with small community shops selling drinks and souvenirs. It's another "hidden gem" that is not overcrowded but rich in artistic and spiritual beauty.
📍 Location: Khao Tham Thiam, U Thong District, Suphan Buri Province
⏰ Opening hours: 7:00 AM – 6:00 PM (recommended to visit in the morning or evening for pleasant weather)
For those seeking tranquility amidst nature and a panoramic view of Suphan Buri, "Luang Pho U Thong" is a destination worth visiting at least once 🌸
