Must visit temples in Koh Samui

Koh Samui, beyond its tropical beaches, is home to a collection of serene and culturally significant temples. The Big Buddha Temple, or Wat Phra Yai, stands as a symbol of the island, with its imposing golden Buddha statue visible from miles away. Wat Plai Laem, adorned with intricate artwork and sculptures, features an 18-armed Guanyin statue and a picturesque lake. The mystical Wat Khunaram near Avani Chaweng Samui is known for housing the mummified body of Luang Pordaeng, a monk who achieved enlightenment. These temples not only showcase exquisite Thai architecture and spiritual devotion but also provide tranquil settings for reflection, offering visitors a glimpse into the island's rich cultural heritage amid its lush landscapes, making exploring them one of the best things to do in Chaweng.
