Buriram is a medium sized rural town in north east Thailand. Overlooking the town to the south is a 'Big Buddha', a 20m high gold Buddha statue gazing benevolently towards the town. From this point there is also a lookout area where visitors can see the town of Buriram.

A combination of distance and the small size of the town makes for a not overly exciting view of the city, but it is the best view of Buriram obtainable.

To reach this spot travel south from Buriram, ~6kms, on route 219. The golden Buddha is easily spotted before you reach the turnoff. The Buddha himself is worth seeing, as well as the other Buddhist sites at this location.
