    Hiking

    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.
