Scooterrecommended vehicle

A 12-metre golden Buddha statue on a hilltop right within Pattaya's city limits — the viewing platform at its base looks out over the entire bay and port, just 10 minutes from downtown.

Route and Road

Climb Pratamnak Road towards Buddha Hill Road — the climb is short, the asphalt is good, and English signage marks the way. Parking at the statue's base is free.

Surface: urban climb.

What to See

Tip from FirstMileVisit closer to sunset — the golden statue glows beautifully in the evening light, and from the platform you can watch Pattaya's lights come on below.
