Giant Stone Buddha - Bhutsaya Khiri Suvarnabhumi Big Buddha - Wat Khao Tham Thiam U-Thong Thailand

Wat Khao Tham Thiam is a small temple from the Ayutthaya period that is accessible by stairs through the jungle. From the top of the hill you can see some nice views of the valley below. The main attraction in this area is nearby the temple, a giant stone Buddha.

Bhutsaya Khiri Sri Suvarnabhumi is the name of a giant stone Buddha image in Suphanburi province that belongs to the nearby Buddhist temple Wat Khao Tham Thiam. The giant stone carved Buddha image is the largest stone carved Buddha image in the ASEAN region.

The statue has been carved from natural rock at an abandoned quarry in U-Thong Thailand. Inside the quarry they are in the process of building a massive complex for people that come to see the statue. There is a man made cave with marble carved Buddha statues as well as many other things to see. The area around the statue is still under construction but it’s open for visitors to see the main area.

The statue itself is amazing. Above the Buddha head is an ancient Chedi that sits on the hilltop that had the marble quarried below it. It’s a few hours outside of Bangkok but definitely a unique experience to see it.

Enjoy the video!
