  3. This beautiful Buddhist Temple complex is located next to another famoue attraction Big Buddha Temple. This comples is a mix of Chinese and Thai culture n architecture. There is one big 18 arms statue of Goddess Guanyin which is worshipped by Chinese. She is also popular as Fertility Goddess. The women pray to her for bearing health children. A little away from here is 20 meter tall statue of Buddha. Beside there are also statues of Hindu Gods like Vishnu, Shiva and GaneshOne can donate 10 Baht and buy the fish food to feed fishes in a beautiful pond surrounding the complex. There are also monks praying in the temple. The entire complex is very well maintained and the vibe all aroud is very calm and serene. A proper dress attire is expected here.Worth visiting…

  4. Another beautiful Thai temple in Koh Samui. Very peaceful and inspiring place to visit and contemplate the world. Koi ponds and gardens are overlooked by giant buddha statues and pagodas.

  5. Temple at noon, hot sun, but sheltered from the sun. Suitable for people with kind hearts. There are many monks to worship.

  6. Amazing ? have to visit. Beautiful and very welcoming temple. So much to see and being there over Chinese new year there was more to see

  7. Spectacular! Very colourful! A must when you’re in Koh Samui. Beautiful, big Buddhist statues abound, along with colourful temples. Huge fish in the lake just waiting to go into a feeding frenzy when the tourists feed them! My friends and I knelt in front of Monk and received blessing and string-bracelets for which we gave a donation. All in all a very interesting place to visit with much of the Buddha’s life depicted on the walls in beautiful colours. Thoroughly recommended.

  8. Beautiful temple in beautiful island. I visited this place with my friend. There are some fishes, turtle also in the pond around temple. Good time to go early morning or evening..

  9. So many unique and amazing sights here. There are a number of pavilions and shrines together here. A number of structures are on the water, enhancing their beauty. I don’t know where to begin. Well worth abandoning the beach for this.

  10. Beautiful temple and if you like feeding fish it’s the place to go.Nice & cool with lots of shaded areas.20 baht gets you a bowl of fish food

  11. Definitely a must see place on the island. The Buddha statues are simply wonderful. You can walk around, take lovely pictures and enjoy the calm and relaxing atmosphere. The temple is amazing too
