1. Chawen Beach

Chawen Beach is located on the east coast of Koh Samui and is considered as the best beach on the island. Developed infrastructure and picturesque beaches attract a large number of tourists every year. Chaweng's entertainment circle can be called a model, because you can hardly find so many activities on another beach in Koh Samui. From morning till night, visitors can feel their real water and extreme sports.

2. Lamai Beach

The second largest beach in Koh Samui, second only to Chavan Beach, has more peace and tranquility. Due to proper protection, it still retains its original natural charm and is suitable for quiet tourists. The seawater here is highly transparent, which is very suitable for all kinds of water sports.

3. Buddha Koh Samui

Wat Phrayai Temple is the most famous landmark Buddha in Koh Samui. Built in 1972, all tourists here are amazed at the huge scale of the giant Buddha, which has also become a memorable attraction in their holidays. From a few kilometers away, even when you arrive or leave the island from the air, you can see that this 12-meter-high golden Buddha statue represents a kind of pride.

The giant Buddha sat in Mara posture, with the palm of his left hand on his knee, his right hand facing down, and his fingers hanging on his knee, sweeping across the ground. It depicts a period of the Buddha's journey of enlightenment, where he successfully dispelled the temptation and danger of Mara, the devil's image, through meditation and keeping calm. Posture is a symbol of firmness, purity and openness.

4. Bo Phut Walking Street

This used to be Bophut, the oldest fishing village in Koh Samui. Now it has become the largest and most popular pedestrian street+night market on Koh Samui, which is not only cheap in price, but also large in scale, and is well worth visiting. The night market in the pedestrian street only opens every Friday, but the shops on both sides of the street open every day, so it is also called clothing wholesale street.

besides, there are delicious Thai snacks in the night market, such as Thai fried rice noodles, banana pancakes, tempura seafood and various street snacks. In front of the old pier in the town, you can also see interesting street performances, such as Thai boxing, boxing and traditional Thai dance.

5. Namuang Waterfalls

Na Muang Waterfalls are two magnificent waterfalls on Koh Samui, and its beauty is not limited to the beach. Visitors with reasonable fitness level will be able to reach the waterfall on foot. Some places may be steep or slippery, so please be sure to wear some strong shoes and be careful when walking.

You can spend a whole day on the waterfall, including swimming, hiking, exploring and picnicking. It is a cool and quiet alternative to the beach. In Buddhism, waterfalls symbolize the fact that we have been moving. Water symbolizes purity, clarity and peace, and reminds us to purify our hearts to achieve a pure state.
