Highlights

Lopburi
Lopburi is the capital city of Lopburi Province in Thailand. It is about 150 kilometers northeast of Bangkok. As of 2014, it had a population of 758,406. The town covers the whole tambon Tha Hin and parts of Thale Chup Son of Mueang Lopburi District, a total area of 6.85 km2.
Pattaya
Pattaya is a city on Thailand’s eastern Gulf coast known for its beaches. A quiet fishing village as recently as the 1960s, it’s now lined with resort hotels, high-rise condos, shopping malls, cabaret bars and 24-hour clubs. Nearby, hillside Wat Phra Yai Temple features an 18m-tall golden Buddha. The area also features several designer golf courses, some with views of Pattaya Bay.
The Great Buddha of Thailand
The Great Buddha of Thailand, also known as The Big Buddha, The Big Buddha of Thailand, Phra Buddha Maha Nawamin, and Mahaminh Sakayamunee Visejchaicharn, was in November 2018 the tallest statue in Thailand, the second-tallest statue in Southeast Asia, and the ninth-tallest in the world. Located in the Wat Muang temple in Ang Thong Province, this statue stands 92 m high and is 63 m wide. Construction commenced in 1990 and was completed in 2008. It is painted gold and made of concrete. The Buddha is in the seated posture called Maravijaya Attitude.
The Wat Tha Sung Crystal Temple
The Wat Tha Sung Crystal Temple is also known as Wat Chantharam and it was built long ago, back in the days of Ayutthaya. However, years later, in 1789, a monk by the name of Luang Pho Yaii was approached by the villagers and asked to be the head of the temple (abbot). He took the part, renovated the temple, and over the years further structures have been added to the complex, yet the chief attraction is the main hall – which is the largest, most impressive part of the temple. Although the Wat Tha Sung structure of the temple is not so special, once you step into the huge space of the main hall, you immediately feel in awe, mesmerized by the spectacular sight that surrounds you. Instead of the gold, you see in most temples – this one features mirrors and crystals, which cover both the roof and the inside parts.
Wat Phra Phutthabat
Wat Phra Phutthabat is a Buddhist temple in Saraburi, Thailand. It is among the oldest Buddhist temples in Thailand. Its name means "temple of Buddha's footprint" because it contains a natural depression believed to be a footprint of the Buddha.
