- Wat Plai Laem - Located on the north-east coast of Samui, Wat Plai Laem is a Buddhist temple complex featuring a remarkable white 18-armed statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. Situated near the Big Buddha temple, Wat Plai Laem provides insight into Chinese-Thai beliefs and showcases intricate Buddhist-themed art and architecture.
Wat Plai Laem is an active temple where worshippers visit daily to honor Guanyin and the Buddha, who is represented in various statues and murals throughout the temple. The artistic techniques employed in its construction are centuries old, rooted in ancient traditions. Enhancing its serene atmosphere, the temple is encircled by a lake filled with fish. Visitors who donate to the temple receive a bag of food to feed the fish.
- Chaweng - This location offers some of the most breathtaking views of Koh Samui. The drive up to this hillside provides some of the island’s best vistas.
- Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks - Known as the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, these formations have amused and intrigued visitors due to their resemblance to male and female genitalia.
- Tar Nim Waterfall - While the waterfall itself offers a refreshing dip, the journey through the lush jungle to reach it is the true highlight.
- Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) - The views from the top are spectacular, offering a glimpse across to Koh Phangan, famous for its full moon parties. The scenery is breathtaking, and as you ascend the stairs, the Buddha statue appears to grow larger and larger.
