This temple is the home of the Big Buddha, Samui’s most famous landmark. Most visitors, at some point during their holiday, come to marvel at the sheer size and beauty of this remarkable statue. Visible from several kilometres away, even from the air when approaching or leaving the island, the 12-metre-tall golden image stands proudly. It is especially impressive when lit up at night. At the base of the structure, shops and restaurants cater to the needs of devotees and tourists alike. Wat Phra Yai lies in Samui’s northeast on route 4171 near the airport. |
