WHAT YOU VISIT
Big Buddha Temple
Situated on the northeastern tip of the island, the impressive Temple of the Big Buddha is a major meditation spot for local and tourists alike. Erected in 1972, the temple's centerpiece is a massive seated golden Buddha that stands 12-meters (39-feet) high. Climb the stairs to the viewing platform and you'll be rewarded with superb views of the northern coast.

Plai Laem Temple
Surrounded by a lake teeming with fish, the impressive temple complex marries elements of Chinese and Thai traditions. In addition to mural paintings telling stories from Buddhist mythology, the site is home to a vibrantly-colored smiling Buddha and the 18-armed Buddhist avatar of Mercy.

PHOTO OPPORTUNITIES
Have your camera ready to capture the majestic Guan Yu Majestic Shrine. Standing 16 meters tall (52 feet), the enormous statue is a notable historical and religious attraction that pays tribute to Guan Yu Majestic Shrine, a famed military general, a warlord, and founder of the Shu Han Kingdom. His image can be seen in many Taoist, Confucian, and Buddhist temples around the world.

LUNCH
Take a break from your exploration to indulge in a delicious international buffet at a beach resort hotel. Set along a pristine stretch of white sand, this upscale resort is a perfect backdrop for a relaxing meal.

SHOPPING
Enjoy a short beach break at Chaweng Beach, one of the island's most scenic spots. Browse a variety of shops and local stalls all along the main street or visit the nearby Central Festival Shopping Arcade.

WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
Marvel at Koh Samui's quaint beauty as you drive through Hua Thanon, a traditional fishing village set amidst a paradise of green trees, golden sand and glistening ocean.
