Itinerary
Wat Plai Laem is a Buddhist temple compound on Samui's north-east coast, which features a striking white 18-armed image of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. Close to the Big Buddha temple, Wat Plai Laem offers visitors a view into Chinese-Thai beliefs as well as some elaborate Buddhist-themed art and architecture. Wat Plai Laem is a living and active temple, where devotees come daily to pay homage to Guanyin and the Buddha, who is also depicted in a number of statues and murals around the temple. The art techniques used in its creation are centuries old and based on ancient beliefs. Adding to its feel of tranquillity, the temple is surrounded by a lake, which is teeming with fish. Visitors who make a donation to the temple are given a bag of food to feed the fish.
This is one of the best spots to take in the beautiful vistas of Koh Samui. The drive up to this hillside is for some of the best views on the island
The Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks have been a source of mirth and wonder on the island as they as the rock formations resemble male and female genitalia.
Nestled among the mountains of Koh Samui, Na Muang is a beautiful 18-meter-high waterfall surrounded by lush jungle.

A nice detour to make. Going in the morning is better. Not too crowded and not so hot. Easier to park. Don't forget the long sleeves. Shoulders and knees uncovered.... prohibited
Cher ACP747, Merci pour votre retour sur la visite de Koh Samui ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié cette excursion. Votre conseil de partir le matin est excellent pour éviter la foule et la chaleur, et nous apprécions également votre rappel concernant la tenue vestimentaire pour les sites religieux. Nous espérons vous accueillir à nouveau pour d'autres découvertes sur cette magnifique île ! Bien cordialement, Nick (IAsia Thailand Online)
