A Phra Yai Buddhist temple, built in the 1970s, housing a monumental seated Buddha statue...
The Phra Yai Buddhist Temple has become a landmark on the island since its construction in the early 1970s. At its foot are dwellings for the monks, as well as shops and restaurants for visitors. The monumental statue, which gave its name to the beach, is located on an islet accessible by a breakwater. It is impossible not to spot the statue of the Buddha, in a sitting position looking east, with its 12 meters height.

Très belle statue de bouddha , elle est énorme et très importante. Elle est visible aux quatre coins de l' ile, c' est le symbole de Koh Samui. Le site vaut le détour.
A small and very interesting tour to discover a super beautiful temple.
You can even approach and chat with a buddhist monk who will make you a blessing and will introduce you to some rites. To do: small stroll around the water pools sacred around large the status of Buddha " with multibras".

Ce site est impressionnant!
Big Buddha surplombe tout et après être arrivé en haut des escaliers (chaussures a ôter, marches centrales brulantes avec le soleil), vous aurez une vue superbe a 360 degrés.
La visite est gratuite.
Pensez pour les femmes a vous couvrir les épaules et les jambes pour faire la visite du site (prévoyez des châles, ca fera l affaire)
De nombreuses petites boutiques alentours dont un café boutiques tenu par une francaise ("chez isa") où vous trouverez de très jolis modèles de bijoux (faitaisie + bijoux indiens et népalais de belle qualité)
