LP Khao Takrao in Wat Khao Takhrao, at Phetchaburi Province is a Chiang Saen-style Buddha image with lots of legends around it.
It is highly revered by the people of Phetchaburi and is completely covered in gold leaves, that almost cover up it's features.
On the temple grounds is also a hilltop building with Buddha images in it and a cable car has been installed to bring visitors to the hilltop. From the hilltop one has a great view onto the surrounding villages and fields.
LP Thongsuk passed away in BE2525, the current abbot is LP Chetwoon
