The Top Spots You Have to Visit in Koh Samui

1 – Wat Plai Laem

If you are interested in temples and religious shrines, you will have a field day in Wat Plai Laem! This is an exquisite temple complex that houses an 18-armed Guanyin statue, which is meant to stand for compassion and mercy. The scene you will be able to get from Wat Plai Laem is unlike any other—you can enjoy a scenic view of the lake that will light up when the sunlight hits it.

2 – Big Buddha Temple

This is the most sacred place on Koh Samui. The 12-meter-high golden Buddha Statue that stands in the temple is the most well-known landmark of the island, which is a hotspot for tourists and locals alike.

3 – Maenam Beach

Enjoy a relaxing beach experience amid coconut palm trees and the relaxing sound of the sea around you at Maenam Beach! Aside from the beach itself, you will have easy access to other destinations like the Big Buddha temple and Fisherman’s Village, which are all located nearby.

4 – Na Muang Waterfall

This is an 80-meter-high waterfall and one of the most magnificent sights in all of Koh Samui.

You can reach this waterfall via a short jungle hike and even get the chance to swim in it. You have to be ready for a strenuous climb, though—but once you reach the falls, your efforts will be worth it.

5 – Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks

If you are looking for something different, the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks will be a sight you will want to explore. These rocks are also known as Hin Ta & Hin Yai, and are usually staples on the island tour. You will be able to spot the Grandfather Rock almost instantly, but will need to have a keener eye to find the Grandmother Rock.
