Itinerary

  1. Wat Plai Laem The Wat Plai Laem is the largest Buddhist temple complex in Samui and shows Guanyin, the goddess of mercy and compassion.

    45 minAdmission included

  2. Viewpoint Lad Koh is one of the largest viewpoints on Koh Samui and is located between Chaweng and Lamai. From here you have an unforgettable view over the beach of Chaweng and the Gulf of Thailand. Many locals bring offerings to the nearby memorial in the early morning.

    30 min

  3. Hin Ta & Hin Yai From here we will drive to the famous grandfather and grandmother rocks in the south of Samui's island. It represents a bizarre rock formation that is reminiscent of the male and female sex. You will get more information on the prehistory of its origins on-site from our multilingual, trained tour guides.

    45 minAdmission included

  4. A natural wonder on Koh Samui. Difficult to reach for many tourists, the huge mineral stone is perfectly balanced on a natural rock platform. With a fabulous view over the tropical landscape with a view of the sea, you stand here in untouched nature and can enjoy an unforgettable moment of absolute peace.

    40 min

  5. A special insight into Thai culture is the mummified monk Luong Pordaeng. He died in 1973 in a meditative sitting position. The body of the deceased, who has died for over 30 years, shows hardly any signs of decay and is on display in a glass display case in the temple Wat Khunaram in the south of the island.

    40 min

  6. The Na Muang Waterfall 1 is one of the most popular waterfalls on Koh Samui. Due to its large natural swimming pool and high water level all year round, many visitors and locals come to see the natural spectacle. In contrast to many other waterfalls on Koh Samui, the access here is very pleasant.

About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is a Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand, with coconut palms, white beaches, a giant golden Buddha and a base for nearby marine parks.

Koh Samui, one of Thailand's largest islands, is ringed by coconut palms and beaches, with a hilly jungle interior. Chaweng has the longest stretch of white sand and the liveliest nightlife, Lamai is quieter, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village keeps old wooden shophouses by the shore. On a small islet joined to the north-east shore by a causeway, the 12-metre seated Big Buddha looks across the water.

Top-ranked sights in Koh Samui: Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk), Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), Na Muang Waterfall.
