Petcherat Marina

Why not spend a lazy afternoon at Big Buddha Beach during your trip to Bophut? Stroll along the beautiful beaches in this romantic area or visit its top-notch restaurants.

Snap photos of the large golden Buddha sculpture that welcomes you to this intriguing dock of opulence and spirituality.

Resting high on its own islet, this large golden seated Buddha watches over the island of Koh Samui and is one of the area’s most visited attractions.

A huge Guanyin goddess and a laughing Buddha are impressive features of this extravagant temple built in the Thai-Chinese style.

Explore a more traditional way of life in one of Koh Samui’s oldest villages. Find Chinese teahouses, funky bars, and a distinctly Mediterranean feel.

If you want to catch a glimpse of Koh Samui before tourism development, visit this wonderfully well-kept street of 19th-century Chinese shop-houses and French architecture.
