Best places: Tourist attractions in Baan Lamai, Thailand

Terracotta-hued Buddhist temple richly decorated with sculptures of sea monsters & warriors.

👍👍 What a wonderful elephant sanctuary. This was a genuinely great experience from start to end. We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel and were picked up by the staff. On arrival you were ushered to a reception area were drinks and coffee were served. After a short introduction of the sanctuary and e...

This coastal stop offers panoramic seaside views & has a small shaded pavilion with seating.

👍👍 The access road is quite steep at times. We took our car but most visitors use a scooter. We really enjoyed our hiking time & enjoyed some drinks afterwards at this nice little spot. No food at present but a variety of cold drinks & blended juices plus tea & coffee. There are a couple places to sit...

Small, busy temple with Buddhist art, best known for the mummified monk on display.

Relaxed beach for swimming, sunbathing & water sports, convenient to hotels & resorts.

😠 as an experienced person in the field of reptiles, I will say it simply, I went out of curiosity, the entrance fee is 400BHT and definitely PLEASE DON'T GO THERE, the animals have terrible conditions, they live in terrariums, several pieces each, dirt, stench and barely alive animals I DO NOT RECOMM...

👍 I was the only tourist there during my visit, very quiet place. Some "off the beaten track" Temples I've visited have had very aggressive, territorial dogs, but no problem here. Several friendly dogs came up to me. As is often the case at Country Temples, some construction/refurbishment is taking pl...

😐 The car park area has two rows of eateries (air-conditioned) that serves a wide variety of local dishes. Look out for the Pork Noodle and Pad Thai kiosks. Yummy & heavenly!

Lush hilltop garden flanked by waterfalls & displays of statues of the Buddha, animals & more.

👍👍 The road to the nice waterfall is sometimes very steep, but no problem with a scooter. Not much water at the moment so seeing the 1st waterfall is the better choice. The way down is rocky and steep so watch your steps! You shouldn't go there, without a mosquito repellent! The same trail leads to th...

👍👍 The best place to get fresh fruit (especially bananas and jackfruit), local sweets, grilled unripe bananas, different kinds of meat, shakes and the best coffee we had in Thailand so far (cafe bora. - Thai ice coffee, served in a stall right next to the restaurant). The restaurant that is connected...

Mountaintop park featuring a pool with panoramic views, a cafe & animals, including colored pigeons.

Lookout deck with a bar, on a forested hill reached by trail or cable car, with views to the sea.

👍👍 Lots of people complaining about the price. But there are lots of posts on here with photos of the price, so not sure why they went, unless they did not do their homework. I had a great time. Money well spent in my opinion. I can see why they limit it to 8 minutes as by then your hands and arms are...

Storied natural rock formations known for bearing a resemblance to male & female genitalia.

👍👍 First of all - it was the best day ever! I don’t understand the bad reviews regarding the existence of the sanctuary. It DOES EXIST and Chaweng Noi the second of two Samui Elephant Sanctuaries on Koh Samui, which opened in 2020. They have 7 female elephants at the moment The crew is specialized in t...

👍👍 Catholic Church. 10:30 English mass on Sunday. In terms of dress code. There is sign asking to take shoes off before entering. Shorts seem to be okay as long as it’s not short shorts. Shoulders should not be bare but if you forget then it’s okay they have scarf and sarong to wrap around for shoulder...

👍👍 Awesome place, with stunning views. Make sure to take appropriate footwear for the steep but relatively short hike. Go past the car park as there is appropriate parking closer to the start of the walk. Also, BE CAREFUL on the rocks, I slipped, and I saw others do so too.
