Phra Phuttha Metta Mahamunee

Chiang Rai Province

This gigantic Buddha art object is located in the hills of northern Thailand. Its gentle expression and large presence symbolize the concept of metta (compassion), and it is beloved as a local symbol that blends in with the surrounding countryside and mountain scenery. It is also used as a tourist photo spot, and its soft light in the morning and stronger shadows in the evening create a striking three-dimensional effect. You can experience the story of northern Thai faith and nature as one.
