Khao Chi Chan: Pattaya’s Giant Buddha Mountain

A distinctive Pattaya-region landmark

Khao Chi Chan, also known as Buddha Mountain, is known for the enormous Buddha image carved into a limestone mountainside. The golden outline is a striking sight surrounded by greenery in the Pattaya region. The site has religious and cultural importance, so visitors should treat it as a place of respect rather than simply a photo stop.

What visitors can expect

The cliff carving is the main attraction, with open surroundings that make the scale of the image easier to appreciate. Visitors should stay within permitted areas and follow signs or staff instructions.

Plan respectfully

Wear suitable clothing that covers shoulders and knees, behave quietly and respectfully, and check current access arrangements before travelling. Practical conditions can change. Source: https://www.tourismthailand.org/
