Explore the sacred temples of Pattaya
If you’re looking for other attractions of Pattaya apart from its famous beaches and islands, the following cultural and historical places of interest will be the perfect choices. Start with Wat Yansangwararam, a large Buddhist temple complex erected in honor of the Thai Royal Family. The temple is also a replica of the Mahabodhi Temple in Bihar, India. Next place to visit is the Sanctuary of Truth, the largest wood building in Thailand that was made entirely out of wood in the ancient Thai carpenter style. There you will admire traditional Thai wood-carving pieces and statues with an ethereal view of the ocean. Another stop is Khao Chee Chan, a 109-meter-high mountain famous for its Buddha image carved on the rock surface by local artisans. It is considered one of the largest religious structures in the world. Finally, don’t miss out Wat Phra Yai or Big Buddha Temple with the impressive golden 15m seated Buddha statue built in 1972.
