Chiang Rai is a city in the Northern Thailand and a very cool mountainous province the city is known for it's many famous Buddhist statues and Temples. I visited the city of Chiang Rai not long ago because i was interested in seeing some of these magnificent Buddha statues and the one i took the most liking to was the Buddha Statue called Guan Yin, the Goddess of Mercy which sits on a hill with lush landscape sourrounding this gorgeous Buddha statue. Guan Yin is a female Bodhisattva in Thai Buddhism which means someone that has reached enlightenment during their lifetime and continued to help others.
Guan Yin Buddha Statue represents a compassionate being is what the Thai people say and believe this Buddha responds to people who cry out for help. This Guan Yin Buhhda Statue stands 23 stories high and has a lift built within the statue that you can journey up to the very top and observe the fantastic views of Chiang Rai city and mountains through the window opening built in behind the head of the Guan Yin Buddha , definitely a breathtaking experience.
