On the northern outskirts of the northern Thai provincial capital of Phetchabun is located a "Buddha Park" (as they are referred to in Thailand, in English at least). This Park is a spot where locals and tourists can go for a day or an hour, relax, pay their respects to the Buddha, and take photographs of each other. The Buddha statue is the centrepiece of the park. It is in a distinctive design, and sits on a large, raised dais, with other associated Buddhist images. I estimate the Buddha to be ~10m high.
At the four corners of the dais are sets of Buddhist bells, there to be rung by visitors. The bells are of the standard Thai Buddhist design. One rings these bells by striking the bell.
Entry to the Park is unrestricted, though of course, a small donation (say 20 baht, ~50c) is the thing to do. I used the Buddha statue, at the centre of the dais, as the waymark location.
