Map & More Information 

 

 

Khao Chee Chan features a giant sculptural image of Lord Buddha erected on a giant cliff in the Pattaya region. The idea to construct it emerged from the Supreme Patriarch's desire to preserve the marble mountains instead of allowing their destruction, as he considered it a pity. This initiative was taken to celebrate King Bhumibol's Golden Jubilee in 1995 and pay homage to His Majesty's achievements.
