Famous for swaying coconut palms, lush greenery and beaches with sand as soft as powder, the island is a popular destination for holidaymakers seeking a laid-back vibe. While it\u2019s easy to rave about the beaches on Koh Samui, and that\u2019s what most people know about Samui, the island has much more to offer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With lush hills offering scenic views of the sea, fishing villages, and white sand beaches, Samui offers different strokes for different folks. It caters to those looking to spend days worshipping the sun as well as travellers in need of a respite from cities. Whether you\u2019re looking to head to the beach or run for the hills, Koh Samui truly has something for everyone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So, what\u2019s your Samui style? Let\u2019s find out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Nature Lovers<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Koh Samui has a wide appeal. The island is a playground, and the best things to do include enjoying both natural and manmade attractions. Nature lovers can explore waterfalls, the splendid Ang Thong National Marine Park and the \u2018Grandpa and Grandma\u2019 rock formations, Hin Ta and Hin Yai, at the southern end of Lamai Beach.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those interested in history, a visit to Bophut\u2019s Fisherman\u2019s Village is a must. This historical part of Bophut is lined with rustic buildings, boutique shopping and trendy restaurants. The charming neighbourhood turns into Fisherman\u2019s Village Walking Street Market every Friday night.

Highly recommended is a trip to the Big Buddha. Located on the northern coast, the shrine is one of Samui\u2019s most famous landmarks. Essentially a 12-metre tall golden statue, the Big Buddha is stunning. On the grounds, the surrounding temple has many different shrines with smaller Buddha figures. Near the Big Buddha is Wat Plai Laem, a living and active Buddhist temple with extremely ornate art and decor. Buddhist devotees visit Wat Plai Laem daily to pay homage to Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy, as well as the Chinese Buddha statue on the lake.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Art connoisseurs will be pleased to discover a thriving art scene on the island. Local artists display original works in boho-chic galleries at beyond affordable prices. A few of the galleries offer simple art classes and ceramic workshops for those looking to hone their artistic skills while on holiday.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-19282\" src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha.jpg\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%27576%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201024%20576%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271024%27%20height%3D%273576%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-250x141.jpg 250w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-400x225.jpg 400w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha-889x500.jpg 889w, https:\/\/magazine-proxy.elitehavens.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Big-Buddha.jpg 1024w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-orig-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Foodies<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Little do people know that the food in Koh Samui is not a clone of what you will find elsewhere in Thailand.
