Best places to visit in Koh Samui

Tropical paradise Koh Samui is an island that dazzles visitors with its stunning beaches, vibrant culture, and lush landscapes. Whether you're a solo traveler seeking adventure or a family looking to create lasting memories, Koh Samui has a little bit of magic for everyone. Let's look at some essential stops that should be on your itinerary.

First on your list should be the iconic Big Buddha Temple, locally known as Wat Phra Yai. The golden, 12-meter high seated Buddha statue can be seen from miles away and is particularly impressive at sunrise or sunset. The temple grounds offer a peaceful atmosphere, and you'll also get a chance to immerse yourself in local religious practices and architecture. As you bask in the serenity, you can appreciate the breathtaking panoramic views of the island.

If you have an affinity for natural beauty, Hin Ta and Hin Yai rocks, also known as the Grandmother and Grandfather rocks, are a must-see. These naturally sculpted rocks mysteriously resemble male and female genitalia, making them a source of amusement and a popular photography spot. While the geology is fascinating, the folklore behind these formations is equally engaging, as you can learn about through local legends. Check out the interesting story behind these iconic rocks for a little pre-visit reading.

No visit to Koh Samui is complete without exploring the mesmerizing world beneath the waves. Ang Thong Marine National Park is a pristine archipelago of 42 islands where you can snorkel or dive to witness a vibrant marine life, hike up to viewpoints for stunning vistas, or simply relax on untouched beaches. Here's the location on Google Maps to help you start planning your aquatic adventure.

For an authentic cultural experience, pay a visit to Fisherman's Village Bophut. This charming area boasts historical Chinese shop-houses converted into boutique stores, trendy eateries, and bars. On Friday evenings, the whole place comes alive during the "Walking Street" market. You'll find an array of local foods, arts, and crafts, as well as entertainment that captivates all ages.

Let's not forget the breathtaking Na Muang Waterfalls, a set of two cascades that offer a refreshing retreat from the beach. Surrounded by dense jungle, the waterfalls also have natural swimming pools at their base to cool off in the tropical climate.
