History of Big Buddha Beach

The Mines
The Big Buddha Beach stretches for more than two Kilometers from the foot of the giant 15 meter high Buddha himself to the Bophut end of the beach, where the mine used to be. This mine was worked for many years to bring tungsten to the surface. This ceased in 1977 when there was a bad accident and 6 miners were killed and another seriously injured. Many of the local people refuse to go near it now as they claim it is haunted by those lost souls. This operation was fairly low scale, and did not scar the landscape. It hardly compared to the other local occupations of Fishing and Coconut farming in terms of income.
