Koh Samui Tourist Attractions

Koh Samui Map

Big Buddha

Big Buddha is probably the most famous landmark on Koh Samui. Placed on a small island you drive across a short jetty to the imposing Golden Buddha. The Buddha is 12 metres high placed at the top of 73 steps. There you can see how the Buddhist Monks live and pray and at the top take in the amazing view overlooking Koh Phangan and Maenam Beach.

Wat Leam Suwanaram

Visit this temple which is over 100 years old and Chinese Lady Monk “Jao mae Kuan Im”. See the large Buddha statue placed in the middle of a pond full of fish. Enjoy both the beauty of the temple and understand more about the Buddhist religion and those people who come to attend meditation courses.

View Point and Chaweng Beach

Take a view over the longest beach on Koh Samui 7 km. of white sand, crystal clear water, local wildlife and nature.

Grandmother and Grandfather Rock

Away from Lamai Centre on the beach there are two famous granite rocks-better known as Grandmother and Grandfather rocks and shaped like female and male genitalia. A love story of a young man and woman ending their life together during a big storm and the symbol of their love turning the granite rocks into these shapes. These rocks are very popular to visit and the only one shaped like this in the world.

Monkey Show

The Monkeys in this show used to be seen all over the island when selling coconuts was the main income for the local people. Now you can visit them and see the working relationship between man and monkey in harvesting the coconut trees.

Khunaram Temple/ Mummified Monk

The body of Samui’s most famous mummified monk loung Pordaeng, is on display in the temple in the same position in which he died in over 30 years ago.

Namuang Fall

Namuang Fall is famous on Koh Samui. It originates from the Mountain in the heart of the Island and falls from the cliffs 20-40 metres high. You can enjoy swimming, jungle around the area and also elephant trekking service at the entrance.

Visit the largest and oldest town on the island. See the local people selling and buying fruits, clothes and many local products. It is the only market where you can shop all day long. It is also the biggest port on the island where visitors can take the ferry to the mainland.
