About This Activity

The golden Big Buddha on the hilltop between Pattaya and Jomtien is visible from much of the city — and the views from up there are even better. Wat Khao Phra Bat is a working temple with a 18-metre golden Buddha and sweeping 360-degree views of the bay, Jomtien, and the islands. It's free to visit (modest dress required — sarongs available at the base). A genuinely peaceful contrast to the beach scene below.
