I could see a set of steps up the hillside, and a beautiful gold covered Buddhist statue almost directly opposite the entry to the "Seven Sisters Waterfalls" Namtok Chet Sao Noi National Park.
I got up to that statue I found that there was a couple more.
The first one is sitting in a 'lotus position', with five gold 'halos' held in a conical arrangement. He is being attended to by two smaller gold plated 'novices'. He could be described as a 'Earth Touching Buddha'
Higher up the hill are another sitting (possibly also an 'Earth Touching Buddha') with a set of 'gold wings' rising up behind, and a very pointed hat on the head.
The third one is a 'Walking Buddha", with again, five golden concentric 'halos' suspended above the head.
At the top of the steps, beside the first golden statue, is a pair of Warriors, that look like they could have been modeled from the Chinese Terracotta Army. The one on the left was 'rusty red' with a yellow leopard, and the one on the right was green with a white leopard.
There is a concrete driveway coming up from the road (from the west).
