Big Buddha Beach Koh Samui, Thailand Beaches

About Big Buddha Beach, Koh Samui Thailand

Big Buddha Beach is in the east of Bophut and takes its name from the twelve meter tall statue sitting out on an islet connected to Samui by a causeway. This is part of the Koh Farn temple, which is the focal point of this area; there is no town as such, although there are plenty of little shops and restaurants around the temple. The beach has very clean and calm water which is very quiet and peaceful for spend your time relaxing.
