Best places: Tourist attractions in Ko Samui, 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...

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

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.

👍👍 A touristy place with many restaurants and eateries. Best to visit on Monday, Wednesday or Friday night when the night Market is operating. The night Market has a variety of street food and touristy stuff. Interesting to visit but not a very big place. Nice beach ambience when walk along the street...

👍👍 This 18-hole golf course is a hidden gem in Thailand located on Samui Island, 1 hour flight from BKK. Every hole has amazing view of the sea! If the course would advertise the property on social media, it would be fully booked for sure. A must go for golfers! Definitely worth it!!!🥳🍻🥳🍾🥳🍷🥳🍶...

😠 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!

👍👍 TopCats fishing resort in Taling Ngam Koh Samui is amazing for the sport fisherman or just leisure fishing. With over 40 species to catch you certainly wont get bored here. All equipment and a guide included you are guaranteed a catch. The staff will go out of their way to help you catch offering ti...

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...
