One of the most famous islands in Thailand is Koh Samui. If you are wondering as to what made it so popular then here are five of the best activities you can experience on Koh Samui island.
The famous Big Buddha temple is undisputedly one of the main attractions in Koh Samui. When you reach the island on a plane you are able to see this majestic statue taking its place in pride and glory. Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort offers a tour to their guests with a tour guide that is able to explain the significant details on the trip. It is a 12-meter tall statue that is made of Gold and takes the seating of Mara position. There are some food and souvenir shops around the area where you can get your hands on some beautiful products.
Hin Ta and Hin Yai are given those names as they are naturally formed rocks in the shape of male and female genitalia. Legend has it that this was named so due to an unfortunate incident faced by an old couple seeking a bride for their son. The two rocks were discovered by the locals many years ago and have become a tourist attraction since then.
If you are with a group of people and you love the outdoors and a thrilling experience you're sure to love a four-wheel-drive jungle safari. Most Koh Samui resorts are able to arrange a jungle safari as it is one of the most popular excursions in Koh Samui.
The Hideaway is given that name because it is located in a place that cannot be approached easily and it is also surrounded by lush green forests which keep it hidden from the day to day life of humans. The land belonged to Nim Thongsuk and his family as it was a hereditary land that passed from one family member to another. Nim Thongsuk started placing buddha statues on the land in the year 1976 and until today it is a location where you can see many different beautiful buddha statues in a serene forest.
One of the most popular attractions in South-East Asian countries is being able to go diving and snorkelling. You are able to become part of this wonderful big blue ocean where colourful fish, manta rays and beautiful corals accept you as part of their world. Even though there are many islands in Thailand you are not able to go diving in all these locations. There are several locations in which one can go diving in order to become part of the colourful world hidden from the day to day life of humans. Koh Samui is one of the best locations to go diving in as there are many different locations you can dive from. Some locals offer the opportunity to take a boat ride to areas which are known for diving and you can dive for several hours and once you are done they will bring you back to the shore.
