Buddha Mountain was created in 1996 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of King Bhumibol AdulyadejтАЩs accession to the throne. The patriarch himself selected the location - a mountain of marble that had been mined during the Vietnam War that he didnтАЩt want to go to waste. The 130-meter tall Buddha was laser etched into the cliff face and then inlaid with gold leaf in a process that took months. Sprawled out in front of the cliff face are beautifully landscaped gardens, complete with pavilions and lotus-flower-filled pools. As you make your way through the gardens, a number of signs (in English!) share the siteтАЩs history.
