Detailed itinerary

Buddha Mountain, also known as Khao Chi Chan, is a popular landmark in Chonburi, Thailand. It features a massive image of Buddha, carved into the side of a limestone cliff using laser technology. The statue is over 100 meters tall and 70 meters wide, and can be seen from far away. The site also has beautiful gardens and a temple complex, making it a popular tourist destination.

Anek Kuson Sala, also known as Viharn Sien, is a museum located in Pattaya, Thailand. The museum houses a large collection of Chinese art and artifacts, including statues, pottery, and paintings. The building itself is designed in traditional Chinese architecture, with ornate decorations and red-and-gold color scheme. Visitors can learn about Chinese history and culture while admiring the museum's impressive collection.

Stop 3

The Big Buddha of Pattaya is a large golden statue of Buddha located on top of a hill in Chonburi Province, Thailand. The statue is 18 meters tall and is made of reinforced concrete covered in gold paint. Visitors can climb up the hill to the statue and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding area. The site also includes a temple and several smaller statues of Buddha. The Big Buddha of Pattaya is a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of peace and enlightenment.

Then Visit Pattaya Viewpoint (Khao Pattaya View Point) on Pratumnak Hill is the best viewpoint in the region and the place to visit day or night to get that classic shot of Pattaya’s sweeping, crescent bay. Be warned though, this is anything but an insider’s tip so expect to share your view with an almost ceaseless conveyor belt of package tours and the local traders who follow them touting cheap souvenirs and expensive refreshments. This might sound off-putting but the reality is tours will usually stop for 10 to 15 minutes and once they have been called back to the bus, the viewpoint becomes quiet and peaceful – perfect for enjoying the stunning scenery

The famous walking street is a popular place to see at night, but take a quitter to feel it in the daytime, and Visit Pattaya Beach Road before visiting the biggest gems gallery in Asia.

The next stop is Pattaya's Gems Gallery you will be ushered into a toy train where you will go through a simulated demonstration of a gem’s journey, from rough cut to the final product. The Pearl Section is said to be a highlight owing to its exquisite designs that never fail to impress.
After spending around 1 hour at Gems Gallery, we drop back at the hotel
