Samui is characterized by a huge cluster of various temples. And here you can find not only Buddhist, but also Chinese, Catholic and Muslim temples.
One of the magnificent examples of Chinese religious architecture is the Mae Nam Temple, which is located in the west of the river of the same name. Columns at the central entrance, as well as gabled roofs, are decorated with colorful Chinese dragons. And below, at the foot of the stairs, there are stylized sculptures of lions.
The Laem Sor pagoda-stupa has a unique appearance. Such structures are erected in memory of significant events and outstanding people. Sometimes they act as a crypt, but often they are a monolithic structure. Laem Sor is painted in a golden hue and is washed by the sea on three sides. The building gains its special splendor at sunset, when golden rays shine from the decorative tiles that cover the outer walls. The pagoda belongs to the temple complex of the same name. It has several tiers, each of which contains bas-reliefs and sculptures.
The main Muslim temple of Samui is the Central Mosque in the heart of Ban Hua Thanon. This snow-white structure with two minarets is located next to the road leading to the beach, where a large number of fishing boats moor and picturesque pictures can be taken.
The Zin Lat temple complex has a unique appearance. It is located next to the waterfalls of the same name and is used for meditation sessions. There is a quiet, pacifying atmosphere here, and many colorful objects will be an excellent backdrop for photo sessions.
You should definitely visit the Khunaram Temple, which is included in the list of the main religious sites of the island. Within its walls is kept the mummy of the monk Luang Pho Daeng, who predicted his death, but today sits in a meditative pose in one of the halls and is the object of worship of all Thai believers.
There is also a Catholic church named after St. Anne on the territory of Koh Samui. This one-story building with a bell tower is modest in outline, but represents the main center of Catholicism on the island.
