This temple is the home of Koh Samui's most famous
landmark the Big Buddha. Most Visitors come to marvel at the sheer
size and beauty of this remarkable statue at some point during their
holiday. Visible from several kilometers away and even from the air
when arriving on or leaving the island , the 12 meter tall golden
image stands proud.
At the base of the structure, several shops and restaurants cater to
the needs of devotees and tourists alike. Wat Phra Yai is in the
Northeast of Samui on route 4171 near the airport.
