Koh Samui

#kohsamuiisland [Must-Visit Attractions] Ang Thong National Marine Park Highlights: A spectacular archipelago of 42 islands with limestone cliffs, emerald lagoons, and hidden beaches. Snorkel in coral-rich waters, kayak through sea caves, or hike to a panoramic viewpoint on Koh Wua Talap. A nature lover’s paradise just a short boat ride from Koh Samui. Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai) Highlights: This 12-meter golden Buddha sits on a small islet and is visible from miles away. Climb the staircase flanked by dragon statues for sweeping views and a peaceful spiritual atmosphere. A serene cultural landmark and a must-see for first-time visitors. Fisherman’s Village Highlights: A charming old-world district in Bophut, lined with wooden shop-houses, beachside restaurants, and boutique stores. Visit on Friday nights for the lively walking street market with street food, local crafts, and live music. Great for a sunset stroll and a taste of Koh Samui’s laid-back vibe. [Must-Try Food] Fisherman’s Village Night Market Must-Try Dish: Grilled Seafood Skewers – A rotating feast of prawns, squid, and fish seasoned with Thai spices and grilled over charcoal. Best enjoyed fresh off the skewer with a side of sticky rice and a cold beer by the beach. Lamai Night Plaza Must-Try Dish: Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad) – A spicy, tangy salad pounded to order with chili, lime, peanuts, and dried shrimp. Add sticky rice and grilled chicken for a classic Thai street meal full of flavor and heat. Khaw Glong Thai Restaurant Must-Try Dish: Massaman Curry – A rich, slow-cooked curry with tender beef, potatoes, peanuts, and a creamy coconut base. A comforting southern Thai favorite in a cozy, traditional setting just off Chaweng Beach.
