Typical Thai hospitality, beautiful beaches and excellent food awaits you at ‘the beach and coconut’ island of Koh Samui.
Experience Buddhist culture at the Wat Phra Yai, which is the home of the island’s most famous figure, the Big Buddha. This huge golden statue stands nearly 12 m tall and is visible even from the air on leaving the island. The Wat Sila Ngu with its golden chedi (stupa) is said to house a relic of the Lord Buddha.
Explore the strangely-shaped rocks at South Lamai or visit the Kunaram Temple which displays the body of the most famous mummified monk of the island, Loung Pordaeng, in the same meditation position that he was found in when he died.
Be adventurous at the Chaweng Beach, Koh Samui’s most famous seashore packed with restaurants, nightlife, shopping and entertainment. The beautiful Lamai beach is just as popular as Chaweng, as is the Big Buddha Beach which has a 12-metre-high Buddha facing the beach area.
