✨Wat Phra Yai Temple in Samui-MUST visit!✨

#cityplaybook 🇹🇭Samui Seacapes🇹🇭 Our first stop on our Samui tour is the Big Buddha Temple🪷 , the 40 foot statue was built in 1972 at the Wat Phra Yai temple, on a small island connected by a bridge to the main island at Big Buddha Beach. Protected by 2 seven headed Naga (serpents) running the length of the steps, the statue stands magnificently on a platform overseeing all around. From here you'll see fantastic views of the Bo Phut bay area and across to the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan. Early morning is the best time to visit, when fewer tourists are around and the sun is pouring over the famous Buddha. #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #samui #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #asia #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo #kohsamui #hongkong #springwander #thailand #myitinerary #aprilblooms
