Some fifteen kms south of Kanchanaburi, Wat Tham Seua sits on a small hill. Built in 1973 the seated Buddha is 18 metres high and is the centre-piece of the wat which commands 360-degree views over the adjacent plains. The seven-storey hexagonal chedi is open, so you can climb to the top and take photos which look like they have been taken by a drone.
​The site once had a cave apparently, and you can guess what used to live in there!
​(Not to be confused with the wat in Krabi of the same name.)

There are 157 steps up to the wat, or you can take an antiquated funicular for ten baht!
