Our Local Experts say:
For such a small island, Samui does have many Temples. Some have wonderful architecture, others have great viewpoints or holy relics and scriptures. All have a wonderful sense of tranquility, a nice change of pace from the tourist hub atmosphere.
We highly recommend taking some time out to visit a few Temples while here on Samui. If you venture a little further afield than island tour temple sites, you'll find some lovely examples off the beaten tourist path. Here you really get to feel what a authentic Samui temple is about. We've made a substantial list for you to choose from.
