This waterfall is located towards the western edge of the island. To get there, you would have to head along the shortcut located at the entrance of Mae Naam. It's a beautiful drive that suddenly gives way to a sweeping view of the area. Follow the signs that direct you towards the waterfall. At the last point, you will have to park and head down a gentle slope that takes you to the falls. There are small rapids that collect in a pool at the bottom of the slope as well as a sunny little bar that signifies the entrance to the Khun Si Falls. The bar owners also operate a farm, which they gladly permit curious tourists to explore. The falls are just 23 minutes from Bophut hotels such as Anantara Bophut Koh Samui Resort in case you are looking for a comfortable place to stay that is central to all major hot spots in Koh Samui.

This mythical-sounding garden was established by a fruit farmer who chose the hillsides of Koh Samui to set up a garden dedicated to Thai deities. He went on to carve intricate statues of Thai idols as well as mythological creatures from Buddhism. The farmer passed away at the ripe old age of 91 but his garden remains shrouded in forests. Today, it's a hidden sanctuary loved by curious tourists.
