        The Big Buddha is probably the most photographed landmark on the island. The 12 meter high statue is located in the far north of Samui on a small barrier island that is connected to the main island by a narrow causeway. The whole temple complex is continuously being renovated and expanded. Beautiful sunsets can be seen from the platform at the top of the statue.
