Big Buddha in Pai
Previously, it was just one small temple building (Wat Phra That Mae Yen), available to the public, is quite typical traditional for any temple in Thailand. It was only interesting people inexperienced, those who have never seen such temples in my life. Now everything has become richer and more interesting.
Now a statue of a seated Buddha is installed on the mountain (Big Buddha Pai), to which the stairs lead. Of course she is not long as in Tiger Temple in Krabi, but for people with serious motor problems can be serious the test. The rise takes about 5-10 minutes.
The place is not only remarkable because there is a statue of Buddha. The location on top of the hill offers you beautiful perspectives of the Pai Valley, for the sake of which it is worth raising here
I don’t know of any other observation deck in Pai that was would be so high at the same time easily accessible. Since you can drive up to the top of the stairs or car.

There are two ways to get to the temple. The first is to quit bike / car at the foot of the hill and climb the narrow stairs to temple buildings and parking. The second is to go all the way up until it is drive into the parking lot, from where the stairs to the big statue will start Buddhas
Admission is free and free. At the entrance to the site with the Buddha need unshoe. From the statue falls a large shadow in which you can hide from the heat.
The place cannot be called popular, therefore there are very few people. The best time to visit is in the evening, at sunset.
