The Big Buddha

This 12 meter gold statue of the Lord Buddha in a seated position is one of Koh Samui’s most popular attractions. A peaceful place to come, relax and contemplate, this Koh Samui landmark is a must for visitors to Koh Samui.

The Big Buddha resides at Wat Phra Yai, which is located on Koh Fan. Koh Fan is joined to Koh Samui by a short causeway. There are many shops and restaurants around the Wat.
