The Wat Bo Phuttharam temple on Koh Samui is hardly known. We wonder why.
Because the atmosphere here is totally calming, the large monk statue is completely different to that in other temples and a visit is definitely worth it.
Wat Bo Phuttharam is located in the north of Koh Samui in the town of Bophut. Located directly on the Ring Road, the temple is a sight that you can visit on the way. The entrance is inconspicuous at a crossroads, we also drove past it. At the crossroads, the path leads to Fisherman's Village.

Extensive and almost deserted temple complex practically directly on the Ringstrasse.
The special feature of the complex is a ship built in a pond with a huge black monk statue. The ship can be accessed via a small bridge and you can see the monk up close. In addition to the statue, there are numerous other Buddha statues and beautiful temple buildings to explore. Absolutely worth seeing.

Good alternative to Big Buddha .... at least as great and impressive but almost no people and no sales hype
