Buddha Mountain in PattayaCreation of the Image
The Buddha image was created in 1996 to mark the 50th anniversary of King Rama IX’s accession to the throne. The image was created using lasers following a computerised plan. After the grooves forming the outline were cut they were filled in by hand with gold leaf, a process which took months, to create the finished image.
Style of the Image
The image is in the style of Buddha statues created during the Sukhothai period, 1238 to 1438, which is famous for being a time when some of the most beautiful Buddha statues in Thailand, such as the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat statue at Wat Phra Si Rattana Mahathat in Phitsanulok, were created.
