Wat Ratchathammaram Red Temple

No reviews yet — be the first!·Maret

About

The Red Temple stands out immediately on Koh Samui's south coast near Lamai Beach. Built from striking red laterite sandstone instead of the typical gold, its intricate bas-relief carvings depict Buddhist stories, mythical Naga serpents, and local legends. The grand Naga staircase leads to the main prayer hall—each carved serpent symbolizes wisdom and protection in Thai Buddhist tradition. An oceanfront meditation area overlooks the sea, offering genuine peace away from crowds. The temple remains active with local worshippers and monks. Lamai Beach and the famous Hin Ta & Hin Yai rocks are minutes away, making it easy to combine a cultural visit with beach time.
