Khao Phra Bat Temple is located on the summit of Phra Tamnak Hill, which is one of the most important and beautiful strategic points of Pattaya City. It enshrines a replica of the Buddha's footprint in a pavilion that is quiet and full of faith. This temple has historical importance and has been a spiritual center for sailors and local people for a long time. With its location on a high hilltop, visitors can feel the peaceful coolness and the wind blowing through all the time, which is completely different from the busyness of the city below. It is a place that perfectly combines both religious faith and natural beauty in one point.

The main attraction that draws tourists from all over the world is the Pattaya Viewpoint located in front of the temple, which is considered the public angle that can see the curve of Pattaya Bay in an S shape or the most beautiful moon shape. Whether it is seeing speedboats cutting through the water surface or the scenery of high buildings lined up along the beach from North Pattaya to Central Pattaya. Additionally, in the nearby area is the location of the Monument of Krom Luang Chumphon Khet Udomsak, the Father of the Royal Thai Navy, where visitors often like to come to pay respect, make wishes, and watch the guard changing ceremony of the naval officers on duty in that area

For the most impressive experience is waiting to view the scenery during dusk, when the sun begins to disappear below the horizon over the Gulf of Thailand. The lights from Pattaya City will gradually start to shine bright, creating a spectacular beauty that cannot be viewed from other points. The atmosphere around the temple is shady with large trees and has areas to sit and relax to receive the cool sea breeze all day. This makes it not just a place to make merit and pray, but also a space to relax the mind and collect memories that reflect the identity of Pattaya City best
