Khao Matsee Viewpoint

About

Standing on a steep hilltop, the Khao Matsee Viewpoint offers fantastic views of the sea and the surrounding area, which the giant Buddha statue at the viewpoint gets to enjoy every day. Unusual in Thailand, it’s actually car accessible, so not only are you spared a steep hike, there’s even some nice amenities like a small playground and restaurant. If you’re getting hungry, the restaurant’s patio is essentially a viewpoint itself, so it’s a great place to enjoy lunch or dinner.
