[Must-Visit Attractions]

Ang Thong National Marine Park
Highlights: A spectacular archipelago of 42 islands with limestone cliffs, emerald lagoons, and hidden beaches. Snorkel in coral-rich waters, kayak through sea caves, or hike to a panoramic viewpoint on Koh Wua Talap. A nature lover’s paradise just a short boat ride from Koh Samui.

Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai)

Visit on Friday nights for the lively walking street market with street food, local crafts, and live music. Great for a sunset stroll and a taste of Koh Samui’s laid-back vibe.
