Khao Chi Chan Tourism

Type of destination: Cultural Landmark

Khao Chi Chan, also referred to as 'Buddha Mountain', is one of Pattaya's most noticeable landmarks. The site features a giant sculptural image of Lord Buddha etched into the northern face of Khao Chi Chan cliff. This magnificent representation, 130 meters in height and 70 meters wide, was carved into the rock with laser technology and later inlaid with gold leaf, commemorating His Majesty the King of Thailand's golden jubilee in 1996. Beyond its impressive scale, the serenity of Khao Chi Chan and its lush surroundings make it a popular spot for both tourists and devout Buddhists. Situated just a short distance from the hustle and bustle of Pattaya, it offers a tranquil retreat amidst the scenic landscape of rolling hills and an artificial lake that reflects the image of the Buddha. Visitors can also explore the adjacent park and several smaller temples and pavilions in the vicinity. The combination of natural beauty and artistic wonder creates a unique cultural experience.
