The image displays an upward-angled view of the concrete staircase leading to Wat Phra Yai (Big Buddha Temple) on Pratumnak Hill in Pattaya City, Thailand. The central element is a wide staircase, approximately 20-30 steps visible, flanked by ornate, multi-headed Naga (mythical serpent) balustrades painted in gold, green, and red. The head of a Naga, featuring an open mouth with visible fangs and a red interior, is prominent in the upper right quadrant, curving upwards. At the top of the staircase, a large, golden seated Buddha statue is prominently visible. To the left of the staircase, a multi-tiered traditional Thai temple roof, gold and red, is partially visible, surrounded by dense green foliage. Lush green trees line both sides of the ascending path, framing the scene against a clear, bright blue sky with minimal cloud cover. Several individuals are present on the staircase. In the lower left, a woman in a pink top and dark pants, and a man in a white polo shirt and light shorts, are walking down the stairs. Further up the staircase, approximately 10-15 individuals are seen ascending towards the Buddha statue, wearing casual clothing. The lighting suggests a bright, sunny day.
