You
see
the
Huge
White
Buddha
long
before
arriving
here;
a
very
impressive
sight.
Plenty
to
see
here.
You
can
take
the
lift
for
40Bht
up
inside
the
Buddha
and
look
out
of
the
round
window
at
the
top,
which
is
actually
the
round
mark
you
see
on
the
Buddha's
forehead
from
below.
It's
lovely
how
a
group
of
smart
uniformed
women
&
men
greet
you
as
you
both
enter
and
exit
the
lift
at
the
base
of
the
Buddha,
almost
like
you're
Royalty.
Two
other
buildings
on
this
site.
The
white
building
has
echoes
of
the
"White
Temple"
and
is
beautifully
designed.
When
I
was
there,
amid
tight
security,
a
very
important
Monk
was
visiting
the
Temple,
his
picture
is
on
the
wall
of
the
Temple
and
he
was
shown
much
reverence.
The
third
building,
in
pyramid
shape,
is
another
shrine.
Many
people
coming
here
to
"Make
Merit"
and
purchasing
bags
of
rice
as
offerings.
The
best
view
of
the
wooden
Buddha
statues
is
actually
from
the
first
floor
(up
from
the
ground
floor).
If
you
try
to
take
a
photo
from
the
second
floor,
the
Chandelier
gets
in
the
way.
This
place
is
free
to
visit
with
plenty
of
parking,
the
only
cost
being
that
of
the
lift
if
you
chose
to
ascend
inside
the
Big
Buddha.
I
think
this
is
the
biggest
Buddha
I've
seen
and
bigger
than
the
well
know
one
in
Phuket.
