Who was on Koh Samui and has not visited the Big Buddha, that means he was not on Koh Samui.

The statue of the Buddha is unbelievable 12 metres high and was built in 1972.

Around the temple you will find countless souvenir shop.

Should you be at the Big a Buddha, not far away is the Wat Plai Laem Tempel, by far absolutely one of the nicest and biggest temple on Koh Samui.


Hin Ta Hin Yai

Called Hin Ta Hin Yai in Thai, or also Grandfather and Grandmother rock, it concerns the rocks which have the form of the male and female genitals.

A nice place!! Before the rock there is a small shopping street in which you can buy coconut caramel. A speciality from Koh Samui and anyway a special souvenir.
