#เที่ยวสไมล์ I had the opportunity to talk to people from Samui and people who moved their families to work in Samui. They told me that people from Samui and people who work, trade, or provide other services must pay homage according to their beliefs. There are 3 main places:
1. Hin Ta Hin Yai, located on Lamai Beach. It is a natural phenomenon of granite rocks eroded by seawater and heat until they formed strange-shaped rocks. The locals named them Hin Ta Hin Yai. Paying homage is like entrusting yourself to be a child or grandchild in making a living.

2. Phra Yai or Phra Phuttha Santithipanath, Wat Phra Yai, is the largest Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya posture in the South. Koh Samui people and tourists like to come to worship and ask for blessings for good fortune.

3. Wat Plai Laem is an old and beautiful temple on Koh Samui. Inside the temple, there is Phra Sangkachai or the Fat Buddha. People come to worship to be happy, complete, and rich.
