The Big Buddha

Samui's most popular attraction, The Big Buddha sitting 15 meters tall was built in 1972 by the local society to give visitors a place to pay respect to The Lord Buddha. This monumental landmark is placed on the island's Northern shore.

Hin Lad Waterfall

The Waterfall is located two km south of Nathon Town. It is approx. a 3-4 kilometer walk down a country foot walk. In evergreen, rain forest setting with palms and creepers, the waterfall have several levels with a cool pool for a fresh water swim.

 

Secret Buddha Garden or Magic Garden


This place is worth a visit. The "Secret Buddha Garden" (some people call it "magic garden") was built in the hills of Samui in the last couple of years. It is told that only man did it. The only way to get there is through the jungle, rivers and mountains by a four-wheel-drive jeep. The journey takes about 2 hours starting at the back of the Lamai temple and is only recommended for experienced "outdoor" drivers. If you want to go the "easy" way book the trip with a travel agency on the island.

Na Tian Butterfly Garden
The butterfly garden is located at the bottom of the hill south of the island. Apart from the numerous species of butterflies on display, there are also other interesting features in the garden, for example, the insect museum displaying rare insects from Thailand and other countries.
