A large golden seated Buddha statue crowns this hilltop temple between Pattaya and Jomtien, visible from much of the city below. Beyond the statue itself, the hill is one of the best free viewpoints around, looking out over both the main bay and Jomtien Beach — a quick, worthwhile stop between the two areas.
