Best places: Religions in Baan Thurian, Thailand

😠 This happened on my last day in Thailand, i’m a muslim and i’m allowed to eat kosher. I entered the place as respectful as possible, greeted a few people and even had a laugh with someone. I ordered my food and received it on my table. 2 bites in a security guard comes to me and asks how i’m doing a...

Tranquil, colorful temple complex featuring a lake with an 18-armed statue of the goddess Guanyin.

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

Massive, circa-1972 gilded Buddha statue at the colorful Phra Yai temple complex.

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

👍👍 In my opinion the best temple in Koh Samui. To all Tourists: please be respectful!

👍 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...

👍👍 I was welcomed by a monk near the entrance. There are a few monks out at midday. Climb the naga staircase to a temple at the top for a meditation. There are mangosteen trees around— I saw a local going around looking up at them. The fruit is green on the tree — I wonder when it turns ripe?

😐 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!

👍👍 The experience was absolutely amazing. Me and my wife ride a motorbike Yamaha aerox 155cc to reach there. It’s not recommended to drive anyone who aren’t experienced driver. Rather hire a taxi or songthew to reach their. The road is pretty dangerous for new riders and 125cc bikes will face hard time...

👍👍 One of the few temples in Thailand where even local people come to do meditation retreats. Good energy here.

👍👍 Very Nice temple, far from the crowded places. The local sea shore is the best we experienced in Koo Samui.

Enduring Buddhist temple with a picturesque white exterior in tranquil mountainside surrounds.

😠 A facade for spirituality. Samma Karuna, a yoga and tantra school, presented itself as a haven for couples like us seeking to explore tantra together. However, the reality was far from the serene, spiritual experience we anticipated. Upon arrival, we were dismayed to be informed that our explorati...

👍👍 Interesting place for visit. The temple is open and have different ceremonies. Anyway here are interesting statues to look at. Do not hesitate to come when passing by 😉

👍👍 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...

👍👍 After dinner the Malayu Seafood, we went here for Isya' Prayers. Stumbled upon the local imam Hj Ghazali. He speaks fluent Bahasa Melayu. Very friendly guy and he explained abit on the the Malay roots here originated from Patani. The locals here are very friendly. I can feel that this place has a g...

👍👍 My very beloved sacred place with calm garden around. If you bought something from street sellers just on the shore across the garden, you can come back and enjoy small snack in very beautiful place. And sound of tweeting birds with ocean waves, what a romance!!!

Elevated Buddhist temple offering group meditation workshops, silent retreats & panoramic views.
