Prince of Chumphon Monument

Review Title: Best View of Pattaya & a Piece of Thai History If you're looking for the ultimate spot for panoramic photos of Pattaya, this is it! The Prince of Chumphon Monument is located at the top of Pratumnak Hill, offering a bird's-eye view of the entire bay. Historical Significance: The monument honors Admiral Abhakara Kiartivongse, revered as the "Father of the Royal Thai Navy". It has a deep spiritual atmosphere for locals; you’ll often see people praying and lighting incense. Unique Design: The statue of the Admiral in his naval uniform stands on a black marble base, and the entire area is designed to resemble the bow of a ship. The Views: Bring your camera! From here, you can see the Bali Hai Pier, and Koh Larn island in the distance. My tips for visitors: Entrance Fee: Entry to the grounds is free of charge. Best Time to Visit: Aim for early morning or late afternoon before sunset to avoid the midday heat and catch the best photography light. Dress Code: As this is a sacred site, please dress respectfully (cover shoulders and knees). Accessibility: The area is wheelchair accessible, and the Wat Khao Phra Bat temple is right next door and worth a quick visit. Enjoy :)

The best top view of Pattaya city!! Drive car to the top hill and parking limited.

Nice area to put up a monument. Many local tourist come here to pay their respect to this monument and also to enjoy the fantastic view at Pattaya and the Bay Area. You should go see this when you go see the viewpoint anyway. Also because the view from the monument area is a bit different than from the viewpoint area even though they are only like 150 meters apart
