Khao Phra Tamnak (Wat Khao Phra Bat)

Located on Khao Phra Bat, the hill to the south of Pattaya, is the Wat Khao Phrat Bat Temple.

Though it is not a big temple, there are many beautiful statues and great scenic views of the whole of Pattaya and its bay. There is also a Buddha statue that is 18 meters tall.

What makes this temple quite unique is that there are no monks staying in the temple. Usually monks in Thailand live, work, and pray on temple grounds. Instead it is simply a space for offering respect to the Buddha. The most popular monument is a replica of the Buddha's footprint,.
