Khao Chee Chan is about 20 km from Pattaya and is part of the Wat YangSangwaram Temple Complex. Located 7km away is the Nong Noch Gardens.
Known to be the largest sculptured image of Buddha in the world, it was done in 1995 by an American (Lives in Naklua, near Pattaya!) for the Kings Birthday. He etched it out using a laser.
The Buddha image is 130 meters tall and 70 meters wide, and outlined in Gold.
Next to here are the Silver Lakes Vineyards and loads of fields full of Grapevines. There is also an elephant Krall across the road.
The shape of this mountain was due to it being mined for the stone during the Vietnam war, the stone was used at U Tapao airbase and also used to help build local roads.
