With mesmeric beaches, a gentle sea breeze, and a warm climate, Koh Samui boasts all essentials to spend an unforgettable vacation. On the mystic shores of Koh Samui, lies amazing gems to explore. Read on to know more.
When you are planning a visit to the beautiful island of Koh Samui, you should not miss the opportunity to take photos of the Overlap Stone. Wondering what 'overlap stone' is? It is an eye-catching large stone resting atop a large boulder. While it is wondrous to behold the sight, the stone in the overlap stone itself is not the main attraction here. Enjoy the serene surroundings and splendour of the eastern coast. If you are staying at a hotel or resort in Koh Samui the likes of Avani+ Samui Resort, it's a 24-minute drive to this attraction.
It would not be an exaggeration to state that the Big Buddha temple is the most popular landmark in Koh Samui. The important highlight here is the 12-meter-high Buddha statue located on the northeast beach of Bang Rak. One can reach the elevated platform where the statue is placed by a stairway flanked by Nagas. It won't take a full day to go around this temple. It can be one hour or longer depending on the pace you take on. As a tip of advice, it's better if you can explore the temple at a slower pace to enjoy its intricate details. The temple is beautiful at sunset! If you are unable to make it in in the evening better to go early in the morning because when it's hot it creates an uncomfortable state.
Towards the Northern side of Lamai Beach, you will find an absolutely beautiful spot for pleasure-seekers and adventure enthusiasts around the world. The 250 metres of pure paradise you see is Silver Beach. It is tucked away in a tranquil bay, and you'll find many restaurants and hotels here. No matter whether you are not a guest of these hotels, you can always get access to this exquisite beachfront. You will feel peace as you feel the waters of the ocean lapping against your body and when you experience the sandy shores of Silver Beach.
Magic awaits deep in the middle of a jungle! This eye-catching waterfall is nestled in the centre of the tropical island of Koh Samui. Feel the serenity of the surroundings as you look out over the wilds of the jungle and bask in the glory of this magnificent waterfall. Visiting Na Muang Waterfall 2 is a feeling than a journey. It will never leave your spirit once you experience it.
A vacation is not always meant to explore attractions and be adventurous, it can be spiritual healing too.
