Buddha Chok

"Phra Phuttha Chok" Khao Wong Phra Chan, Lop Buri Province The largest Buddha statue in the Chiang Saen style in Lop Buri, is enshrined on the edge of Khao Wong Phra Chan. The area around the Buddha statue, in front, is a wide courtyard with stairs leading to the Buddha statue, two Dharma halls, a viewpoint, and a Hanuman monument. There are two ways to go up to pay homage to Phra Phuttha Chok: the first is the concrete stairs built by the temple that go around the mountain to the large Buddha statue, with 549 steps. The handrails are white, making them match the golden yellow color of the large Buddha statue, along with the beautiful green mountains behind. The other way is a paved road that goes around the back of the Buddha statue. You can drive up this way. #WinterTravel
