The programme

Our first stop is the magnificent Buddhist temple of Wat Phra Yai, located on the small islet of Koh Phan, connected to Koh Samui via a tarmacked road.
Here we can admire the famous imposing Great Golden Buddha, a giant representation of Siddhārtha Gautama sitting in meditation. 12 metres high, it dominates the landscape from a hill inside the temple.
We will then visit the majestic temple of Wat Plai Laem, home to the evocative statue of Guanyin, Goddess of mercy and compassion, which appears before our eyes as soon as we pass by the lovely lake populated by small fish.
After this full immersion in Buddhist spirituality, we move towards an we enjoyable delicious buffet lunch in a local restaurant.
We end our excursion in Chaweng, the largest and best-equipped resort on the island overlooking a long white beach, where we have some free time to go shopping in the countless shops selling local products, clothes and souvenirs along the road skirting the beach.
