Laem Suwannaram Temple, Koh Samui

Wat Laem Suwannaram or Wat Plai Laem is one of the most beautiful ancient temples on Koh Samui, Surat Thani Province. Inside the temple, there is a statue of Phra Sangkachai, which means happiness and love. He is a monk full of love, who brings love and happiness to all people. Chinese people usually worship him to ask for wealth and happiness. Some people believe that they can also ask for children. In addition, Wat Plai Laem also has a thousand-handed Guanyin in the middle of a beautiful white pond, 20 meters high. Each arm represents a different aspect of Buddhism. You can walk to the statue, cross the stone and marble bridge to the statue in the middle of the pond. In the chapel, there are fish ponds at various corners for visitors to feed the fish and release fish to ward off bad luck. #Koh Samui #Visit Temples #Surat Thani #Wat Laem Suwannaram
