We visited in February. The temple and Big Budda were nice. The Big Budda was on the top of a mountain near the center of Pattaya. The views to see Pattaya were great. It was easy to go by cars.

This Place is near View point Pattaya,so if you have enough time, visit this place are nothing to lose. This place is free administration. You can see Big Budha and some statue of other God. Some people ask for blessing for good luck. You can ring the bell with a wood, but i don't know what it is for.

Be sure to get there as early as possible so you can spend as much time as possible soaking up the majestic beauty of this mountain-top must-see, you will not be disappointed. Even though it is free admission the monks rely heavily on the good will of tourists and devout followers for donations (both small & large) to continue the... More

The Big Buddha itself is not quite as big as the one in Phuket but its still impressive. The whole area is a great Sunday afternoon walk and you can spend a few hours walking this area. Its very clean... More

We visited this place in the evening just after sunset. The big statue looked amazing in the dusk colors. The cool evening breeze and nice Pattaya view makes it a pleasant place to sit and relax. Loved it !!

Despite not being Buddhists we found the setting to Beverly peaceful and tranquil. It had a "holy" feel to it that I did not experience a any of the other temples that we visited. An added bonus is the magnificent view from the hill. It is worth a visit.
