Itinerary
Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai)
Start your day by visiting the iconic Big Buddha temple, also known as Wat Phra Yai. This 12-meter-tall golden statue is one of Koh Samui's most famous landmarks. Located on a small rocky island connected by a causeway, the statue sits majestically overlooking the island and the surrounding sea. The peaceful atmosphere and the panoramic views make it a perfect place to begin your exploration of Koh Samui.
30 minutes
Wat Plai Laem
Next, head to Wat Plai Laem, a vibrant and colorful temple complex featuring an 18-armed statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy. This temple is a fascinating blend of Chinese and Thai architecture and is surrounded by a serene lake filled with fish. Visitors can participate in traditional Buddhist rituals here. The intricate details and the spiritual ambiance offer a deeper insight into local religious practices.
45 minutes
Lad Koh View Point
Make a quick stop at Lad Koh Viewpoint, located between Chaweng and Lamai. This viewpoint offers one of the best panoramic views of the coastline, with sweeping vistas of the turquoise waters of the Gulf of Thailand and the surrounding lush greenery. It’s an ideal spot for some breathtaking photos and to simply soak in the natural beauty of Koh Samui.
20 minutes
Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks
After lunch, visit the famous Hin Ta & Hin Yai Rocks on Lamai Beach. These natural rock formations are known for their unusual shapes, which have led to a number of local legends about their origins. The rocks are not only a quirky and photogenic attraction but also offer spectacular views of the surrounding coastline.
30 minutes
Guan-Yu Koh Samui Shrine
Explore the Guan Yu Shrine, dedicated to the revered Chinese warrior Guan Yu. This shrine is one of the largest in Southeast Asia and serves as an important cultural center for Koh Samui’s Chinese community. The imposing bronze statue of Guan Yu stands 16 meters tall, and the shrine is a great place to learn about the island's Chinese heritage and history.
30 minutes
Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk)
Visit the Mummified Monk at Wat Khunaram, a unique and somewhat eerie attraction where the preserved body of Luang Pho Daeng, a revered monk who passed away in 1973, is displayed in a glass case. The monk’s body has remarkably remained intact, which is considered a testament to his spiritual discipline. This site offers a profound insight into Thai Buddhist beliefs about life, death, and the afterlife.
30 minutes
Namuang Waterfall 1
Cool off with a visit to one of Koh Samui’s beautiful waterfalls. Namuang Waterfall 1 is easily accessible and features a large pool at the base, perfect for a refreshing swim. Namuang Waterfall 2 is located further uphill and is less crowded, offering a more secluded and peaceful experience. Both waterfalls are surrounded by lush jungle, making them ideal spots for nature lovers.
1 hour
Ta Nim Magic Garden
Experience the mystical Tarnim Magic Garden, also known as the Secret Buddha Garden. Tucked away in the hills of central Koh Samui, this hidden garden was created by a local fruit farmer named Nim Thongsuk, who began building it in 1976. The garden is filled with an array of statues, including Buddha figures, deities, and animals, all nestled among lush vegetation and flowing streams. The winding paths through the garden reveal new surprises at every turn, making it a truly enchanting experience. The tranquil atmosphere and the unique sculptures give this place an almost otherworldly feel.
45 minutes
Nathon Night Food Market
Spend the late afternoon exploring Nathon Town, the island’s capital and main port. Nathon is known for its local markets, where you can shop for souvenirs, local handicrafts, and fresh produce. The town’s bustling streets offer a glimpse into the everyday life of Koh Samui’s residents, and it’s a great place to pick up some unique items to take home.
45 minutes
Nathon Pier
As an optional extra, conclude your day with a relaxed dinner at one of the beachfront restaurants in Nathon Town, where you can watch the sun set over the Gulf of Thailand. The laid-back vibe of the town, combined with the stunning sunset views, creates the perfect atmosphere for a leisurely dinner. Enjoy fresh seafood or traditional Thai dishes as you reflect on the day’s adventures.
