Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai)
About
The Big Buddha (Wat Phra Yai) stands 12 meters tall on Koh Faan, a small island off Ko Samui's northeast coast. Visible from most parts of the island, this golden temple is one of the most recognizable landmarks here. The site draws both pilgrims and travelers looking for coastal views and a glimpse of local spiritual life. Getting there means a short boat ride, making it an easy half-day outing from the main beaches.
