Highlights
Giant Summit
Located in Namuang hills, The Giant Summit Koh Samui is a Thai style restaurant set on an impressive balcony, suspended on a mountain's hillside. The Giant Summit Koh Samui has one of the best views of the island. The phenomenal view from the balcony beats some of the top Koh Samui viewpoints.
The food is good and reasonably priced but the spectacular view what makes the drive to the Giant Summit worth it. Even if you go for a fruit shake or a beer, give it a go, especially if the day is clear.
Hin Ta and Hin Yai
Hin Ta and Hin Yai are the highlights of some fascinating rock formations at the southern end of Lamai Beach on Koh Samui. They've been a source of giggles and wonder on the island since they were discovered by the locals many years ago.
Set on the rocky coastline between Lamai and Hua Thanon, Hin Ta and Hin Yai raise indulgent chuckles or embarrassed titters from those who go to see them. This unusual and titillating sight has, naturally, given rise to a legend explaining how the rocks came into being.
Koh Samui
Ko Samui (or Koh Samui, also often locally shortened to Samui) is an island off the east coast of Thailand. Geographically in the Chumphon Archipelago, it is part of Surat Thani Province, though as of 2012, Ko Samui was granted municipal status and thus is now locally self-governing. Ko Samui is Thailand's second largest island after Phuket.
Namuang Waterfall
Na Muang Waterfalls, a majestic set of 2 cascades on Koh Samui, show that the island’s beauty is not limited to its beaches. Found about 12 km inland from of Nathon Bay, the Na Muang falls are reached by taking a walking path from the entrance to the park.
The first waterfall, Na Muang 1, flows down into a pretty natural pool that provides a cool escape from the heat. About 30 minutes' walk further uphill is the smaller yet equally inviting Na Muang 2.
Plai Laem Temple
Wat Plai Laem is a Buddhist temple compound on Samui's north-east coast, which features a striking white 18-armed image of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. Close to the Big Buddha temple, Wat Plai Laem offers visitors a view into Chinese-Thai beliefs as well as some elaborate Buddhist-themed art and architecture.
Wat Plai Laem is a living and active temple, where devotees come daily to pay homage to Guanyin and the Buddha, who is also depicted in a number of statues and murals around the temple. The art techniques used in its creation are centuries old and based on ancient beliefs. Adding to its feel of tranquillity, the temple is surrounded by a lake, which is teeming with fish. Visitors who make a donation to the temple are given a bag of food to feed the fish.
WeGreen Cultural Park
WeGreen is Samui Culture Park and Green Farm which can provide you with a a deeper look into Thai culture as you explore the nation's cultural practices. Visitors can tour an organic farm featuring herbs, spices, and vegetables that make Thailand's cuisine so unique and delicious. One more opportunity is to enjoy lunch at WeGreen Restaurant.
