Wat Plai Laem Highlights: Must-See Features and Attractions
Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
Thousand-hand Guanyin Temple is located in the north of Koh Samui and is a relatively new temple on Koh Samui. The temples and many colorful Buddha statues are built on the artificial lake and are magnificent. There are also eminent monks in the temple casting spells and praying for blessings. The temple features two huge Buddha statues on the edge of an artificial lake. On one side is the Maitreya Buddha sitting on a lotus seat. On the other side is the eighteen-handed Avalokitesvara. In the middle of the two Buddha statues is a temple, in the style of 18th century Indian Buddhism. There are not many tourists in the temple as a whole, and it is relatively quiet. The monks in the temple are Thai Buddhists, mostly young believers. They either clean the temple or feed the fish in the artificial lake, and live a carefree life by the lake. Many brightly colored fish are raised in the artificial lake. If tourists donate some money in the temple in the center of the lake, they can get a package of fish food to feed the fish. No shoes are allowed to enter the temple, regardless of men and women, they should not be too revealing. Ladies should not be too close to the monks, seeking peace of mind while respecting the local culture.

it's very famous and beautiful Buddha templeworth to visityou feel very religious environment hereI really like this place too
Wat Plai Laem or Wat Suwanaram It is another important temple in Koh Samui as well as the Big Buddha Temple. And also located only 1 kilometer apart, the highlight of this temple is that there is a large statue of Guanyin thousand hands. and the statue of Sangkachai located in the middle of the lake
Qianshou Guanyin Temple is a famous temple on Sumei Island. Many of the Buddha statues here are open-air sculptures. And the Buddha statue here has obvious characteristics of Chinese Buddha statues. There are many temples in the whole temple, as well as calm lakes, and the scenery is very beautiful. It doesn’t feel like a temple, it’s more like a park, it’s worth a visit.
Great place to feed fish and pray. make good merits for the day. Wat plai laem is a must visit for tourists!
