Khao Chi Chan is renowned for its enormous sculptural depiction of Lord Buddha carved into a massive cliff. This impressive image was created in 1995, initiated by the then Supreme Patriarch, who believed it was a waste to let these marble mountains be destroyed. He ordered the creation of the giant Buddha image on the already halved cliff. It was also constructed to honor His Majesty King Bhumibol on the occasion of his Golden Jubilee.

Inside the temple-museum, one can admire numerous precious and rare Chinese artifacts, paintings, terracotta figures, and antiques on display.

Established in 1977, it is often referred to as Luang Phor Yhai or Big Buddha by locals. Its hilltop location distinguishes it from other city attractions. A long stairway leads to the majestic Buddha image, surrounded by various smaller images on the hill.
