The world's largest carved Buddha statue

Phra Phuttha Pusayakiri Sri Suwannaphum (Luang Pho U Thong) The posture of provoking the Buddha's mother is a Buddha statue in a sitting position with his legs crossed. The left hand is placed on his lap, some are placed on his knee, and the right hand is raised to the level of his chest, with fingers folded. Some are bent. This Buddha statue is carved from natural stone. It is 108 meters high, has an 88-meter wide base, and a 65-meter wide lap. It was built on a huge cliff called "Pha Mangkorn Bin", which was initiated by Phra Thep Suwannamoli (Sueang Sirindhorn, Ph.D.8), advisor to the Sangha chief of Suphan Buri Province and abbot of Wat Pa Lelai Worawihan, after evidence from the Fine Arts Department indicated that in the past, this area was the starting point of the spread of Buddhism in the Suwannaphum region. In addition, this area used to be a concession area for blasting mountains to build a stone mill before the contract expired and it was abandoned. The Sustainable Tourism Area Development Administration Organization (Public Organization) or TAT therefore came to adjust the landscape in front of the Buddha image to be beautiful and attractive. When traveling inside, you will see both the natural waterfall, the cool flowing water, and the greenness of the mountains with both large and small trees that are abundant, along with a large pool of water. As for the name of Wat Khao Tiam, it means a temple that was built together with Wat Khao Phra because the word Thiam means together. In 1917, it was permitted to be built together with Wat Khao Phra and received the royal charter of the boundary of the temple (the area that the king granted to the monks to use as a place to build the ordination hall) in 1928. Stone Tunnel, a sacred place 🙏🏻 In addition to the Buddha image that stands tall and catches the eye, when walking to the back of the Buddha image, you will find a large tunnel, 20 meters wide and 50 meters deep. When you step inside, you will feel the cool breeze that blows through, giving you a feeling of the coolness and happiness of this place. #Suphan Buri #U Thong
