Wat Theppitak Punnaram (White Buddha), Nakhon Ratchasima. The white big Buddha is a impressive 45 meters tall statue belonging to the Wat Theppitak Punaram temple in Thailand, located in Phaya Yen, Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province.
― pplains, Sunday, 14 August 2016 02:41 (nine years ago)
I wonder how they decide on the size, like one person suggests 40 meters everybody's v enthusiastic but in comes the new kid HOW ABOUT... forty FIVE!!?? endless applause
Maybe its just a matter of budget
― niels, Sunday, 14 August 2016 08:05 (nine years ago)
ha, well actually ...
The elevation of the statue of 112 meters or 56 Thai Wa above ground level refers to the 56 goodnesses of Buddhism. The total of 1,250 steps of the two paths left and right leading uphill to the statue signify the number of disciples of the Lord Buddha who assembled on Magha Puja Day without prior notice. The height of the statue of 45 meters means the number of years Buddha spent in teaching the people after he had attained enlightenment
― pplains, Sunday, 14 August 2016 17:30 (nine years ago)
If they were using meters as their basic unit of measure, why would 112 meters refer to the 56 goodnesses? And if they were using Thai Wa as their unit of measure, why would 22.5 Wa refer to 45 years spent teaching?

It's almost like they just built a big statue where they had property rights and then retroactively looked for significant numbers to make it seem like it was divinely inspired

[A]t an impressive 180 feet in height, with a 23-foot nose and 14-foot eyes to match, the monument to Decebalus, the king of the Dacians, is visible from a great distance. (By comparison, the presidential faces depicted on Mount Rushmore reach a mere 60 feet in height.)
I mean, sure, say it's taller than Rushmore, but c'mon, it's not like Rushmore looks like this:
