The Big Buddha of Koh Samui is one of the island's most famous sights and a place of great spiritual significance. The imposing golden statue sits majestically on a small hill on the north coast of the island, providing not only an impressive sight but also a peaceful environment for visitors to experience Thai culture and Buddhism

Since this is a temple complex, shoulders and knees should be covered.

The Big Buddha on Koh Samui is one of the most famous sights on the island. This impressive monument is not only a symbol of Buddhism but also a popular place for tourists from all over the world. The statue is approximately 12 meters high and depicts the Buddha in a seated posture that exudes calm and serenity. It is located in the Wat Phra Yai temple complex, which is located on a small island called Koh Faan, which is connected to Koh Samui via a causeway.

Many visitors have admired the statue and enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere it exudes. The golden color of the statue particularly shines in the sunlight, providing a mesmerizing image against the blue sky and surrounding sea. The Big Buddha is not only a spiritual center but also a place to admire local culture and handicrafts as there are many shops and stalls selling local handicrafts near the temple.
