Many travellers head to Koh Samui to enjoy the pristine beaches

, seductive nightlife, abundant water sports, plush Koh Samui resorts and an array of dining options. Yet, Thailands third largest island holds many cultural attractions that are worth exploring.

Many smaller islands can also be easily accessed from Koh Samui, allowing for exploration of the lush vegetation and seas.

The beaches in Koh Samui are ideal for just soaking up the sun, water sports, dining and certain beaches convert to beehive of activity once the sun goes down. Full moon parties are also popular in these parts and prove to be an exciting experience. To absorb a little culture and tradition, visit the many temples that can be found around the island. One such popular option is the Pagoda Khao Chedi which is also known as Laem Sor Pagoda.

The temple can be found near the fishing village of Ban Laem Sor along the southern coast of Koh Samui. The entire structure is covered in mustard coloured tiles that at a distance can be seen to look almost golden.

Alongside the Pagoda Khao Chedi, visitors will find a meditation forest that features many places to sit and a smattering of tables as well. Sit and enjoy the tranquillity of the small forest with expansive views over the coast and temple. During holy days the temple is visited by many locals and monks enhancing the spirituality of the place. As one of the lesser visited attractions in Koh Samui, the area is untouched and most picturesque.
