Phutthamonthon is a Buddhist park in the Phutthamonthon district, Nakhon Pathom Province of Thailand, west of Bangkok. It is highlighted by a 15.87 m (52 ft) high Buddha statue, which is considered to be the highest free-standing Buddha statue of the world. The park was created in 1957 (which was the year 2500 in the Thai Buddhist Era) on the basis of an idea of Thailand's prime minister, Phibunsongkhram. The park covers an area of about 400 hectares, which in traditional Thai units is 2500 rai. Construction started on July 29, 1955. The construction halted for a while due to a lack of budget and continued again during the government of Kriang Sak Chamanan as it was a part of government's policy. Moreover, the construction had a big progress thanks to the royal patronage and the park was inaugurated on the Vaisakh Bucha day (May 13) in 1957. After the inauguration, many buildings has been built such as the auditorium and a big building called "Mahavihara" where the marble Tripitaka is housed.

Absolutely huge park! IMHO is there too many employees, who care about the park too much. But still, if you want to find a peaceful place in western BKK suburb, this is a place for you IF you have a motorbike or car, because it is not easy to get there or out. We used taxi, possible, but not recommended.

Amazing place. I can spend there all day. Truly peaceful and beautiful.

A park honoring the automobile. The park was designed for people who hate walking and other forms of exercise. There are very few paths without cars where you can walk, bike or run. If you want to go to a park and be guaranteed a parking space no more than 4 feet from where you want to sit, this is the place for you. It makes Lumphini in central Bangkok seem like a trip to the country in comparison

I love visiting this beautiful park and ride bicycle. One of few place in/around Bangkok I can breath fresh air.

Kinda far from Bangkok. And not ao convenient with public transport. Great green space. A lot of mini marathon organized here. Superb atmosphere for running.
