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.
