Possibly Pattaya's most beautiful religious icon is Buddha Mountain. On the northern face of Khao Chi Chan, there is an engraving of a cross-legged Buddha with one hand on his knee and the other in his lap. Khao Chi Chan is the most notable landmark and attraction in the area, which is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty. Other facilities have popped up nearby to capitalize on the significant passing traffic of Thai and international tourists who come to this wonderful location.
It is advised to wear proper apparel (clothing that covers shoulders and legs above the knee) as the Buddha Mountain grounds include a temple and saffron-robed monks are frequently seen there. There are no additional fees.
To fully utilize the contrast between the darkness and the light coming from the laser equipment, the majority of the carving was done at night. Gold was engraved into the etching after the image's contour was completed. The picture shows a cross-legged Buddha with his left hand in his lap facing up and his right hand resting on his right knee. Buddha's current position symbolizes the time he attained enlightenment. It is referred to as "Calling the Earth to Witness" or "Earth Touching" and is the stance of the Buddha that is most frequently depicted in Thai art.

This picture towers above a pond covered in lotus blossoms at 109 meters high and 70 meters wide. Saffron-robed monks mingle with tourists and bless believers within the temple compound's pavilions and well-kept gardens. The American Army's mining operations during the Vietnam War produced the rocky outcrop.
Once upon a time, the mountain of Khao Chi Chan was a rocky outcrop close to a Buddhist temple. It came about as a result of American Army mining during the Vietnam War. This enormous Lord Buddha image was proposed in 1996 by Thailand's highest patriarch, Somdet Phra Yannasangwon. It was engraved using laser technology on the rock. To accurately capture the effects of darkness and laser lights in the sketch, the artists worked on the carving at night. The Buddha engraving was then completely filled in with gold leaves. The project was initially intended to celebrate the King's golden jubilee, but it later developed into a tourist attraction.
