It is no surprise that people often head over to Thailand for an epic beach vacation. This is a popular destination among travellers and backpackers. And if anyone is looking for free things to do out here, you will be thrilled to find out there are many of them. Take a look at this list.
This is one of the most active temples on this island. The local people often come over here to pray as well as make merit. If you would like to have an insight into the local beliefs and customs of the Chinese Buddhist community, this will be a good place to start. You will be absolutely taken aback at the beautiful practices you will witness here. On top of that, the temple is so colourful and ornately decorated that it is very pleasing to the eyes too. If you are looking for a spa hotel in Koh Samui, close to this temple, you can check out properties like Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort.
Fisherman's Village is another popular tourist attraction that is neatly lined with some of the best restaurants and high-rise popular establishments. It is widely known for its authentic Chinese Thai culture blend. You will be able to stay in beautiful local homes that are made out of wood. You will learn about the culture and history of this place. People often tend to stay around here in order to enjoy the spectacular beaches. And where entertainment is concerned, you will not be disappointed.
Your trip is definitely not going to be fulfilled unless you spend some time on the beaches. And this beach is one of the best ones you can relax on. It is not packed with tourists and locals like how some of the other beaches are. However, as the waters get very deep quite quickly, it is best for you not to swim far off the shore. The beaches are beautiful and clean making it all the more ideal. There are bars and restaurants too if you would like to head over for a bite or a drink.
This is another famous and important landmark here, that you must visit. The statue here is at a height of 12 m and is visible even from far off distances making it absolutely magnificent and heavenly. If you are arriving via aeroplanes to the island, this is one of the features you will witness from up above. Around this temple, there are many restaurants and shops that you can check out. If you opt to take the ceremonial stairs, you will witness a glorious view!
If you are looking for another place for swimming, these waterfalls will be the one you have to visit. There are two cascades of waterfalls that showcase all the natural beauty of this place. The first waterfall is around 80 m in height and the other around 18 m in height. Both these waterfalls are spectacular and are well worth a visit. Make sure to pack up a picnic too!
