Big Buddha Temple, Pattaya: A Majestic Spiritual Haven

The Big Buddha temple is one of the few tourist destinations in Thailand whose beauty is unaffected by the weather and can be visited at any time of the year. It is best to travel between December and May, which is the dry season, to avoid rainy weather. The months of April and May might be crowded due to Songkran and Buddha Poornima. The Big Buddha Temple remains open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.

Every year, thousands of people typically travel to the Big Buddha temple in Pattaya to pay their respects. The long staircase that leads up to the temple is manned by Nagas on either side. The Naga is a representation of the Naga King, who shielded the Buddha from rain and storms while he was enlightened. After you pass the stairs, you will come to an 18-meter-long Buddha statue that is surrounded by eight other smaller Buddha statues of various sizes and shapes, one for each day of the week. The pose of the Big Buddha statue, known as the Mara Mudra, illustrates how the Mara demon attempted to divert him before Buddha’s enlightenment, but the Buddha was unaffected by fear, lust, or any other distractions. The meanings of the smaller statues are also discussed below. 

1. MONDAY: Represents compromise and meditation.
2. TUESDAY: Represents bravery and courage.
3. WEDNESDAY: Represents good karma gained by helping others.
4. THURSDAY: Represents deep concentration.
5. FRIDAY: Represents contemplation.
6. SATURDAY: Represents protection from Natural disasters.
7. SUNDAY: Represents the day he attained enlightenment.

Kaan Show Pattaya

Just three kilometers separate the Big Buddha temple and the Kaan show. It is the ideal fusion of live art, cinema, stage performance, and cutting-edge technologies. The magic of the light, sound, and colour effects at Singha D'Luck Cinematic Theatre give viewers an incredible experience. The show usually runs for 70 minutes, and the stories are taken from old Thai folktales. Due to the non-verbal nature of the performance, it is perfect for both locals and visitors.
