The casting of the Buddha - Mingmongkol Aeknakakiri Buddha image is now in
good progress. The information was reported by chairman of the Ming-Mongkol
Buddha project Suporn Vanitchkul who is carrying out the project, located on
the hill top of Naak Koed hill between Karon and Chalong. According to Khun
Suporn, the casting cost around 30 million baht and is expected to be
completed next year to join in the celebrations on the auspicious occasion
of His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary. Believed to be the
largest Buddha image, the site is expected to be a significant landmark for
Phuket and to be a major tourist attraction. The 45 metre high and 25 metre
wide image will be in Maravichai style which will be adorned with 40 images
of lotus petals. The fundraising committee is now working with the Forestry
Department to promote it as the Buddhist park of the island. |
