The 12 meter high Buddha sits on a small islet connected to the big island by an unpaved causeway. In front of the temple is a cluster of shops and food stalls catering to bus loads of tourists and day-tripping Thais.
Entering the temple, you first come to a large paved courtyard with a dragon ( Naga ) stairway on the other side. Flanking the stairs are two small pavilions housing smaller Buddha images.
The stairs lead you up to the platform on which the Buddha image sits. From the platform you get some good views of the long beach where the islet sits.
On a filled area facing the big island are a number of mythical statues painted in bright sparkling colors.
Samui Mostwanted recommendation!
