It has very unique atmosphere. Even though there are many tourists, but the temple keeps its mysterious and holy mood. And it is all different the statue in day time and in the evening, plus the sunset is really beautiful behind of Buddha statue, I recommend to visit around sunset time.

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 u0026 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.

very nice place with a lot to go around, peaceful place a bit of walking, can be helped with the local cars. temples are very nice, its not worth paying for go on top of the buddha though as there is nothing to see or do.... windows to look outside from up there are very small and dirty and the inside is nicely decorated with white dragons and monks,but really disappointing.

This is an amazing place with huge Buddha statue. Very cool place to visit, a lot of steps to climb but it is worth it! Highly recommended. Also, don’t forget to visit the temple! Sublime!

Just wow!! This is one of if not my most favorite temple in all of Thailand! You can easily spend 2-3 hours here. Be sure to arrange extra time because you will need it!!

Definitely worth going up the not so appealing stairs!! When you get inside the temple you will be welcomed and invited to go up in a lift to the top of the Buddha temple! The views from there are amazing, you get to look out through the eyes of the statue (just be careful you don't drop your phone when taking photos!!) It has very pretty walls on the inside, this is definitely one I'll remember!

For the second time visit, this place is easy to reach with parking and few spots to refresh. The temple has many floors and lots of wood sculpture, all beautiful in details. The other side has a lift and a nice panorama.
