    Magnificent place. Its beautiful... Actually it's a great place to click photos and make reels . And most beautiful the scenic view is from above. You should go around 5 so that you can enjoy the sunset there. The entire city view you can enjoy from that top.

    amazing place. The view from the mountain is very impressive and gives a beautiful view of all the beaches. It is important to know that the place of the Buddha is very holy to Thai people and it is important to behave respectfully towards the place. They make sure that women's who enter the place cover their upper bodies and legs. There is a souvenir shop and t-shirts for tourists. You don't need more than a 30-minute visit. If you need to go to the bathroom it is better to stop before you arrive.

    Big Buddha Temple in Pattaya is a delightful gem that promises a truly serene experience. Stepping into the temple's grounds, I was immediately captivated by the nice ambience that enveloped the entire place. The peaceful atmosphere instantly put me at ease. The main attraction, undoubtedly, is the majestic large Buddha statue that stands tall and proud, exuding a sense of tranquility and spirituality. Its sheer size and intricate details left me in awe, making it a must-see for any visitor to the region. But that's not all; what sets this temple apart are the small Buddha statues that encircle the main one, each representing a day of the week. The colorful statues add a unique touch and provide an interesting insight into Thai culture and beliefs. As I strolled through the temple grounds, I found myself surrounded by the serenity of the place, and the aura of positive energy left me feeling spiritually rejuvenated. The views from the temple were breathtaking, offering a glimpse of the surrounding natural beauty. Whether you are a devout Buddhist seeking spiritual solace or simply a traveler looking to admire architectural marvels, Big Buddha Temple is a definite must-visit. Its nice ambience, attractive setting, and the mesmerizing collection of Buddha statues will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression on anyone fortunate enough to explore its grounds.

    It is very easy and well worth while to visit The Big Buddha Temple, which is on a hilltop in the Jomtien district and offers great views of the surrounding area. The Temple is 18 meters made of gold-plated concrete. It includes a temple complex with several smaller Buddha images, prayer halls, and meditation areas. Just a nice, relaxing, peaceful place.

    (Translated by Google) We were up here in the early morning around 6 o'clock because my Thai wanted to release a dove as a sacrifice for Buddha. We had bought this from a dealer the evening before and left it overnight in the box provided. The complex is very nice and you have a great view from up here. Since the previous night was very short for us, we drove straight back home. (Original) Wir waren am frühen Morgen gegen 6 Uhr hier oben weil meine Thai eine Taube als Opfer für Buddha freilassen wollte. Diese hatten wir am Abend zuvor bei einem Händler gekauft und über Nacht in dem mitgelieferten Karton gelassen. Die Anlage ist sehr schön und man hat eine tolle Aussicht von hier oben. Da die vorherige Nacht für uns sehr kurz war sind wir jedoch gleich wieder nach Hause gefahren.

    Beautiful views and quite the hike for an old man like me. If you're in Pattaya you should check it out. You drive up or take a taxi. I took a baht bus as far as I could and walked the rest of the way.

  • 4/5 Sushil kumar k. 1 year ago on Google
    Pattaya's most important Buddhist temple located at top of Pratumnak hill. An 18 meter tall gold painted statue of Buddha graces the top of the hill. A long stairway flanked by two golden colored Naga snakes leads to the largest Buddha image that was constructed in 1977. Apart from the Big Buddha there are seven smaller Buddha images on the temple grounds as well as a pavilion. The steps leading up to the Buddha are not too steep and easily manageable. This place is one of very famous spots for tourists as well as locals. From every corner of the world Buddhist follower come here often to pay respect and pray for health, happiness and wealth . From the top of hill you can have a fantastic view of Pattaya city and coral island. An excellent place to visit in Pattaya especially in the afternoon. Entrance is free for all. Temple timing is 9am to 5pm. Prefer to visit in morning or evening time. Ample parking space.

    Beautiful temple with a Buddha for every day. I recommend not to visit it during the day, but in the early morning or in the evening. Women has to hide their legs, cause it's still a temple. It's possible to take photos there. You can make donations for the Buddhas and for your zodiac sign.

    Entry is free to this place. If you taking public transport then it's a long and steep walk to reach the place. The place has a sense of calmness. Place was very clean. Great place for prayers. The view from top is really good. Must do this place if you coming to Pattaya. Way back the taxi guy charged 200 bahts to drop us to beach road. It was worth the visit.

  • 5/5 Goverdhan R. 2 years ago on Google
    Big Buddha temple is located on top of the hill. Need to climb few stairs to reach the temple. From the top entire Pattaya skyline is visible, so i would definitely recommend going there. Either side of stairs has dragon theme and it so nice.

    It is free. No need to buy ticket. But you can give donations to help this temple's maintenance. Too many people were there, so difficult to take a good picture.

  • 4/5 ashutosh 8 months ago on Google
    You can visit this place for free. There is no admission ticket. A woman has to cover their shoulders and knees while visiting the temples. Free cover-ups are also available there. But it's advisable to dress up properly before visiting the temple. There are also several food stalls and souvenir shops on the grounds. This place is very crowded on weekends and a little less crowded on weekdays. It would be better for you to go to the temple in the evening because it will be very hot during the day. Still, if you guys go during the day, don't forget to apply your sunscreen. The stairs are very slippery due to the continuous running of water, so go carefully. Highlights • A woman has to cover their shoulders and knees while visiting the temples. • Temple is less crowded during weekdays. • Stairs are very slippery, go carefully.

    You can visit this place for free. There is no admission ticket. A women has to cover their shoulders and knees while visiting the temples. The free cover ups are also available there. But it's advisable to dress up properly rather than to use someones' used things. It was a crowdy place in the evening time. People are crazy in taking photos. You cant find peace over there. The temple is located on a hill overlooking the ocean, and the view is simply breathtaking. The giant statue of the Buddha is truly impressive, standing at 12 meters tall and covered in gold leaf. The surrounding gardens and buildings are also beautiful and well-maintained. There are also several food stalls and souvenir shops on the grounds. Visitors to the temple can take their time exploring the different areas, including the main temple hall and smaller buildings with various Buddhist statues and shrines.

    Really cool gong (16' diameter) that sounds off so low that the video camera in my phone could not record the audio, but you can see the camera stability shudder as the percussions hit it. Peaceful serine enviro for contemplation. Fruits, flowers and vegetables available to purchase and leave at the alters. Buddha is immense. Solicits awe!

    (Translated by Google) The path up to the temple has a slope. The atmosphere of the temple is good. There is a large Buddha statue. With a birthday Buddha statue to worship at the risk of Esiimsi There is a bathroom. The dress code needs to be done. There are sarongs to wear for those who don't dress successfully. Must respect the place Because it is a Buddhist area (Original) เส้นทางขึ้นไปวัดมีความลาดชันครับ บรรยากาศของวัดดี มีพระพุทธรูปองค์ใหญ่ มีพระประจำวันเกิด ให้กราบบูชา เสี่ยงเซียมซี มีห้องน้ำบริการ การแต่งกายต้องเรียบร้อยครับ มีผ้าถุงให้ใส่สำหรับท่านที่แต่งกายไม่เรียบร้อย ต้องให้เกียรติสถานที่น่ะครับ เพราะเป็นเขตพุทธสถาน

    Really beautiful majestic statue of Buddha's overlooking pattaya town. Most gentle steps I have every climbed. Central statue surrounded by Buddha statues for the 7 days of the week. Also great photo point behind the statue. Be respectful and don't touch or lean on the Buddha statues when you are there you can click photos with the statue no problem. Entry is free.

    Don't believe the navigation distance of google maps, it is very tiring to walk up, it is recommended to drive and ride a motorcycle. The trees on the mountain are too lush to block the view of the view.

    Visiting the Big Buddha Temple in Bangkok is an experience that stays with you. From the moment my friend and I set foot on the temple grounds, we were swept away by the serenity and beauty that enveloped us. The temple, also known as Wat Phra Yai, houses an enormous golden Buddha statue that is not only a testament to religious devotion but also a masterpiece of Thai craftsmanship. Standing at an impressive height and visible from miles away, it dominates the landscape with a calm yet majestic aura. The temple is nestled on a hill, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding area. The journey up the steps to the Big Buddha is a spiritual ascent into a realm of peace and contemplation. The atmosphere is thick with the scent of incense and the sounds of distant chants, which enhances the sense of spirituality that permeates the place. The architecture of the temple, with its intricate designs and traditional Thai elements, is a visual treat. The Buddha itself is a sight to behold, with each detail of the statue meticulously crafted, radiating a sense of inner peace that is almost tangible. What made the visit truly memorable was the warm hospitality of the locals and the monks who maintain the temple. They share stories and insights about the temple’s history and significance, which enriches the visit far beyond a simple tourist experience. The Big Buddha Temple is not just a place to visit; it's a place to experience tranquility, reflect on life, and appreciate the beauty that human faith and artistry can create. For anyone traveling to Bangkok, this is a must-visit destination that offers a unique blend of spiritual enrichment and cultural exploration.

    No lineups. No tickets are required. Just a taxi or bus tour to the location. There is a snack bar there for drinks and light snacks. There's a free washroom facility. Easy to walk the steps. Not as hard as the photos may appear. Short little wide steps. Great views.

    The Big Buddha Temple in Bangkok is a must visit place. I visited the temple via a tour guide and I was swept away by the serenity and beauty of the location. The temple is also known as Wat Phra Yai, (as locals call it) encompassing an enormous golden Buddha statue that is a masterpiece of Thai craftsmanship. The temple is located on a small hill, offering breathtaking views of the Pattaya city where you can see all zones from one place. I could feel the spiritual connection while climbing up to the temple and the aura of incense made me completely immersed into the world of spiritual life. Once stepping into the temple, they shared stories and insights about the temple’s history and significance, which enriches the visit far beyond a simple tourist experience. You can also offer prayers to Buddha’s footsteps to get your dreams or wishes come true! Must visit! Highly recommend!

  • 5/5 Miles M. 2 years ago on Google
    Some lovely views of Pattaya from here and a number of smaller Statues on this site. But I must also mention the adjoining Chinese Temple just a two minute walk from here. I'm sure many people won't see this, but it's well worth taking a look. I spent longer there than Big Buddha. It has interesting features like the pictorial display of the 24 gratitudes, the Zhong Sun garden, Statues of Philosophers Confucious and Lao Tzu. There are information boards around the site in English. Don't miss this adjoining site.

  • 4/5 Jon 2 years ago on Google
    Does anybody know the meaning or purpose of this rock with carvings that you can find on top of the monument. I would suggest you dress properly, however, they lend you a sarong so you can cover your knees and shoulders If you plan to come here walking bring a big bottle of water and get ready to sweat. Its a nice trek through some parks, and its close to a nice viewpoint and the Pattay City sign. I recommend to do it all at once, ending the walk once you get to the beach.

  • 5/5 Matt M. 4 months ago on Google
    Wonderful place to visit in the morning for a sunrise or early evening for sunset, as the view is quite nice and the many statues beautiful. This is a special temple in Pattaya, but can feel overly touristic and monetary, but this shouldn't detract from the experience. Sunrise, you'll likely be the only visitor and have the whole place to yourself like I tend to do often.

    The Big Buddha in Pattaya is truly a sight to behold! This majestic statue sits atop a hill, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the city and the coastline. It's an awe-inspiring experience, both spiritually and visually. The tranquility surrounding the site makes it a peaceful escape from the hustle of the city below. The serene atmosphere up there makes it a perfect spot for some soulful contemplation or simply soaking in the beauty of the surroundings. Don't miss this iconic gem when you're in Pattaya! Please not the size of Buddha is not a massive comparatively though.

    Upon arrival, you are greeted by stairs leading to the statues. The stair steps have low rises. So it is easy to climb. There are several statues in the area. And there is one big one in the middle. There are souvenir shops in the area. The place is located on higher elevation. The back of it has good vantage point of Pattaya. It is also a good place to watch the sunset.

  • 5/5 Akash R. 1 year ago on Google
    Beautiful monument. View of the sea beside from the location is beautiful. The sculpture is created very nicely. You can offer your prayers also here. There are some pieces of crafts to buy as memoir but those are overpriced. You have a free parking, no entry fee, no charges for carrying camera. And if you want a peaceful time from the chaos of the city, it'll surely be your favorite destination

  • 5/5 M J. 1 year ago on Google
    This was the last stop on my walking tour of the area - highly recommend it. You can walk up the steps to see the Buddha and smaller statues at the top. The views from the back are also worth the walk up. You can buy water/ juice etc here so that's a bonus. It was busy when I went but you could still move around freely. Donations are welcome as boxes are at different points. Please remember to cover your knees and shoulders - it is a temple area. If you do forget, there is a place at the bottom of the steps were you can rent/buy covers.

  • 5/5 Hannu T. 1 year ago on Google
    Big Buddha Temple is one of those "must see" attractions in Pattaya. The temple area is on the hill, and you get there by going curvy streets upwards - which can be especially on hot weather a sweaty walking trip. In any case, the big Buddha statue itself is very impressive; and be it big Buddha or some of numerous small statues, the area is a good place for nice selfies. Visitors in the temple area are numerous, too, but for reason or other it isn't very disruptive. Rather, Big Buddha Temple is a place to relax.

  • 4/5 Libincee 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Pilgrim stations in Thailand which became a business place now because of street shops. You can see shops even at the courtyard of the temple. Temple has preserved beautifully and still they do create one-two statues year on year. I could see 2-3 new statues after my last visit. View from the backyard is so beautiful. You can see seaside from there. Blowing of each bells with the stick will give you different experiences. I love blowing the bells even though it’s a ritual of the temple.

    One of the must visit place in Pattaya, This is not exactly a sculpture, this is kind of painting work done in a huge single stone Hill, I don't know if the paint is of Gold or not but it's looks like gold painting. There is no entrance ticket fees required to enter the area.

    Wat Phra Yai, known in English as the Big Buddha Temple, is a Buddhist temple on Ko Phan (also spelled Koh Fan or Koh Faan), a small island offshore from the northeastern area of Ko Samui, Thailand, connected to that island by a short causeway 3 kilometres (1.9 miles) north of Samui International Airport. As its name indicates, it is home to a giant, 12-metre-high (39-foot) gold-painted Buddha statue. Since being built in 1972, it has become one of Ko Samui's main tourist attractions and a major landmark.[1] The Buddha statue depicts Buddha in a state of calm and purity and resolve, having overcome temptation and fear sent at him by Mara, Lord of Illusion. Known as the Mara posture, the left hand rests palm open and up in the statue's lap, the right hand facing down over the right knee, almost to the ground. There is a second, smaller Buddha statue, depicting the Maitreya of the Future and a collection of bells around the temple's rear side. The temple design has elements of animism, Brahminism and Buddhism in its architecture. As in many Thai temples, nāga statues line the staircase. There is a bazaar within the temple grounds selling tourist items as well as amulets and other Buddhist items. There are many restaurants and shops around the temple in the area known as Big Buddha Beach (Bang Rak). The Buddha is near a beachtown called Bang Rak, now often called Big Buddha Beach. It is 7.5 km (4.7 mi) northwest from Chaweng and 3 km (1.9 mi) east from Bophut. The temple is located on Thai highway 4171, which is a side route off of Highway 4169, the main route around the island Wat Phra Yai from Wikipedia:-

    If you're visiting Pattaya, I would definitely add this to your list of things to see. The view of Pattaya and Jomtien from the hill is worth the trip, but the statues are impressive too.

    Nice temple, but not so impressive. A big plus is the view to one side of the cliffs, to see a part of the sea and the buildings nearby.

    Amazing statues and artwork at this small temple. Walking up the flight of stairs on a hot day is a bit of a challenge, but the sight and calmness you experience at the top is just awesome.

    An impressive and tranquil place to visit. Very tidy and well kept monuments and with stunning views out to sea. Good exercise too should you choose to walk there 😊

    (Translated by Google) The Big Buddha is located in the south of Pattaya, about 4 km from the center, on top of a green mountain, which in addition to being a sacred place for Buddhists, is also a scenic and pleasant place for walking and having fun. I recommend it to all tourists ...
