Pattaya is a well-known tourist location around the world. Both Thai and foreign visitors don’t miss visiting this city because of its diversity of things to do. When I can’t think of a place to visit near Bangkok, Pattaya is often the first place that comes to my mind. Having visited there many times, these are some of the attractions in this city.

• Chi Chan Mountain

It is recognized as one of the landmarks of Pattaya. Many tourists take pictures with the cliff carved with the image of Buddha. It was built from the vision of Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara because the beautiful mountain was being destroyed. To save the mountain near the Wan Yan Sang Wararam Woramahawihan temple, he had the idea of carving the image of Buddha to create a sacred place for Buddhism. The Buddha is in the attitude of subduing Mara like the Nawaratchabopit Buddha in the Lanna-Sukothai style. The Buddha carving is 130 meters tall in total. King Rama IX of Thailand named the Buddha “Maha Wajira Uttamopassasda” which means “ The Buddha is the enlightened prophet like Maha Wajira”

• Silver Lake Vineyard

The Silver Lake Vineyard is owned by the famous actress Supassa Nueng Pirom. It is located next to the Chi Chan mountain. It is as large as 1,200 Rai (around 1,920,000 square meters). The vineyard has a beautiful scenery with a view of a lake and flowers. There is also a shop selling grape products. Most tourists visit this place to take photos and take a tour around the vineyard by bus.

Wan Yan Sang Wararam Woramahawihan temple is located in the Huai Yai district in Amphoe Bang Lamung, Chonburi. Somdet Phra Nyanasamvara, the 19^th Supreme Patriarch of Thailand, was the head of the construction project; he also named the temple after his title.

• Pattaya City Sign Viewpoint

If you stand on the Pattaya beach either on the North Pattaya, Mid-Pattaya or South Pattaya beaches, you can see the gaint letters PATTAYA CITY in the middle of the mountain. You can also view the letters from below the sign as well. To get to this viewpoint, you have to park your car in the Public Park in Commemoration of King Rama IX’s 6^th Cycle Birthday on the Phra Tamnak Mountain. Then follow the signs to reach the viewpoint. From this viewpoint, you can see the whole Pattaya bay. The garden is also filled with beautiful flowers and there are also exercise spots and tracks for running. Every day, the park is visited by those who enjoy exercise and the view.

• Coffee Break and Radio Station Viewpoint

This coffee shop atop the Phra Tamnak Mountain is opposite the Radio Station. The coffee shop offers beverages, delicious coffee and toasts for a good price. From the coffee shop, you can see the nice view of Pattaya city. Not far from the shop, you can visit the Krom Luang Chumpon Monument near the Navy’s Radio Station where you can also get a good view. If you visit in the evening, you can see tourists waiting to see the sunset. Driving here is not difficult but finding a place to park is. You have to park on the ramp and release the gear. The parking is so convenient that I decided that visiting in the morning is better even though the sky won’t be as pretty as in the evening.

Opening hours: Every day from 9AM-9PM

• Wat Kao Phrabat Temple

A few steps from the coffee shop is the Wat Kao Phrabat Temple. The pavilion is the first building that you can see from the entrance because it’s right in the middle of the temple. Inside, there is the Buddha footprint and threes Buddha statues. The walls are painting with the stories of Buddha. One of the spots you can’t miss is the statue of the old hermit that tourists often pay respects to and wish for safe travel. The mountain of this temple has a lot of history in the eastern region of Thailand as Taksin the Great camped at this mountain before battling the city of Chan. In 1967, Luang Pho Po found the foot print of Buddha on the Pattaya summit and placed it inside the pavilion here.
