Main attractions of Koh Samui:

1, Paya Temple

Paya Temple, located on the small island next to the Giant Buddha Beach, is a famous landmark and scenic spot on Koh Samui. There is a golden Buddha statue in the temple, which is 12 meters high and magnificent. When you approach Koh Samui from any angle, you can see this tall Buddha statue at first sight.

2. A Gong family and a Ma history.

There are two representative stones on the coast of Koh Samui, namely, Agong Stone and Ama Stone, which are very famous scenic spots in Koh Samui. The shape of the stone is formed by natural weathering and looks like the genitals of men and women. A Gong Shi stands upright on the rock, while A Ma Shi is hidden in the rough sea and can only be clearly seen when the tide is low.
