Wat Thep Phithak Punnaram, Buddhist temple in Klang Dong, Thailand.

The white Buddha statue at Wat Thep Phithak Punnaram rises 45 meters high and measures 27 meters across, making it a dominant feature of the landscape.

The temple designers incorporated the number 1250 into the staircase design to represent the monks who gathered to hear Buddha's first teaching.

At Wat Thep Phithak Punnaram, monks perform daily ceremonies and religious practices that maintain Thai Buddhist traditions for the local community.

Visitors need to climb 1250 steps to reach the mountaintop temple, which sits 112 meters above ground level in Nakhon Ratchasima province.

The dimensions of the Buddha statue carry specific meanings: the 45-meter height symbolizes the years Buddha spent teaching after enlightenment.
