Wat Pai Rong Wua can be seen kilometers away because of a 54 meter high Buddha statue, the largest metal-cast Buddha in the world .

Among hundreds of Buddha statues and a lake full of fish waiting to be fed by the visitors, you can find an area showing what Thais expect to be hell. Featuring scenes of torture, performed by demons and various monsters to their victims, Thais come here with their kids to show them what happens to them after death when they do bad deeds.
