The Great Buddha of Thailand

This isn't just a Big Buddha, it's the Biggest Buddha. The Great Buddha of Thailand is the tallest statue in all of Thailand, the tallest seated Buddha statue in the WORLD, and the 9th tallest statue in the world.

The full ceremonial name of the statue, in Ang Tong Province just a few hours out of Bangkok, translates to The Great Guatama Buddha of Wiset Chai Chan, built to commemorate the great King Bhumibol. That's way too much to say, though, so most Thais call it Luangpho Yai (The Great Buddha). The Great Buddha is 92 meters (or 302 feet) tall, making it nearly twice the height of the Statue of Liberty in NYC!
