What a lot of tourists don't realise is that there are a number of attractions that are well worth checking out yet don't cost anything. On this list, you will discover which of Koh Samui's attractions are free of charge and are absolute must-sees for everyone travelling there.
In addition to being positioned on the major ring road, the Lat Ko Viewpoint can be found on a hill in the middle between Lamai and Chaweng. You are treated to a breathtaking vista that takes in the whole of Chaweng Beach and the villages that surround it when you stand here.
One can hike down to the rocks beside the water from the viewpoint, which has been artistically built. Additionally, many people come here to see the dawn from this vantage point. Obviously, there are no costs associated with anything.
It is not possible to have a pleasant day on the warm sands of the beach or go swimming at Big Buddha Beach since there is constant boat traffic from local fishermen as well as tour companies. In addition, there are no shaded locations on the beach. But if you want to watch a breathtaking sunset, here is the perfect place for you to be. The beaches on the western coast of Koh Samui are the only ones on the island that give a beautiful view of the sunset. You may watch the sunset just behind the hills while sipping a beverage that you purchased from one of the convenience stores that are located nearby, making yourself cosy on the beach, or the pier. You may also enjoy the beach and glorious sunsets from a resort in Koh Samui the likes of Avani+ Samui Resort.
Among the most interesting and beautiful temples on Koh Samui is Wat Plai Laem, which was constructed in 2004. You'll see a large statue of a Chinese Buddha in addition to a figure of Kuan Yin that has 18 arms when you visit this location. It is known as the Buddha of Compassion in China, and it is particularly revered by the Thai-Chinese population of Thailand. In addition, there is a huge lake that is inhabited by turtles as well as fish The size of the temple complex is continually being increased, and as a result, throughout the course of time, there will be an even greater number of Buddha statues and temple structures. The entry is completely free, however, anyone who feels moved to do so is more than welcome to make a contribution to the maintenance and growth of the temple.
One of the most recognisable symbols of Koh Samui is the Buddha statue, which stands at a height of twelve metres. It was constructed in 1972 on the little island of Koh Fan, which is connected to the mainland by a causeway and is home to the Wat Phra Yai temple. The settlement of Bangrak is the closest access point. The temple grounds are open to visitors without charge; however, contributions to the upkeep of the temple are always welcome and much appreciated.
These two rocks are among the most popular photographic subjects on Koh Samui, and there is no admission fee to see them. The parking of a scooter or automobile, on the other hand, will cost you some money.
