  Wat Khao Chong Chat

 

Thailand

Wat Khao Chong Chat is a rural Buddhist hill top temple in Udonthani, which features a gilded naga-staircase that leads up to a giant white Buddha statue seated in the meditation pose, and with a third eye and an elongated golden flame on its head.

 

The base of the statue is connected to the summit of the mountain it sits on by a pedestrian bridge. A nature trail further leads to the edge of the mountain's rock face, which is in fact the border with the neighbouring province of Nong Bua Lamphu.
