Rest on Koh Samui promises a lot of pleasant impressions and memories. This island is known for its beach resorts, an abundance of places of worship and unique natural attractions.
One of the most famous statues of the island is the 12-meter high Buddha, which is located on the hill of a tiny island near Koh Samui. You can get here along a loose path, and a large grand staircase with 60 steps, divided into three tiers, leads to the statue itself. Below is the Pra Yai Temple, and nearby is the donation room. At the same time, the name of the benefactor will forever remain carved on the tiles of one of the newly erected temples, for which funds are being collected.
Another stunning temple in Samui is Wat Plai Laem. This is one of the brightest iconic sights of the island, which is included in all excursion programs around the resort.
The temple has eclectic outlines, which do not always strictly correspond to the canons of religious architecture of Buddhism. It stands near the artificial lake of the same name with three islands. The highlight of this place is the statue of the Chinese goddess of mercy Gaun Yin, reaching a height of 12 meters, as well as a sculptural image of a laughing Buddha, which is often featured in souvenir figurines.
The Bophutaram temple with a statue of the monk Luang Po Tuad has an unusual appearance. The structure is made in the form of a giant boat, on which a seated statue of a monk of dark material rises.
This architectural composition was not chosen by chance. Real events served as a prototype for the project. In one poor, pious family, a boy was born who, from childhood, absorbed sacred knowledge from his parents, and then from teachers in different temples. But one day this boy, realizing that he had learned everything that his mentors themselves knew, set off on a voyage to the capital of Siam, Ayutthaya. At sea, the ship got into a strong storm and fought against the elements for many days, after which it completely lost its course. There was no food or water on board, and the superstitious crew of the ship concluded that an unknown monk (the same boy) was the cause of all troubles. The team decided to deal with the fellow traveler, but he sat down on the edge of the deck and began to pray, dangling one leg into the water. While the monk prayed, the storm gradually subsided, and the sailors froze in amazement.
After finishing the prayer, the monk told the sailors to fill the buckets with seawater. To the team's surprise, the sea water was fresh. And the rest of the way the ship passed without unpleasant adventures in complete silence.
