Khao Chi Chan, commonly called Buddha Mountain, is a 130-metre cliff face in Khao Chi Chan valley, south of Pattaya. A giant outline of the Buddha in the Maravijaya posture was laser-etched and filled with gold paint on the rock face, making it the largest Buddha image in the world carved into a natural cliff.
The carving was commissioned in 1996 to celebrate King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 50th anniversary on the throne. The image was traced using laser technology and inlaid with gold. The surrounding park was developed by the Royal Thai Navy.
