Hua Thanon Traditional Muslim Fishing Village. Famous for its produce market and one of Samui’s last remaining fishing fleets. Most of the population of this particular village are Muslim, having their ancestry in the south of the peninsular. Here you can still glimpse Khor-lae, a traditionally built boat with multi-coloured hulls and intricately carved prows.
Wat Samrat Guardian of the ancient White Marble Buddha. One of the most picturesque temples in Koh Samui & the Secret Hall of the 50 Buddhas. These images have come here from across Thailand, India and Myanmar. Many of these statues are highly valuable and the hall remains locked. We have arranged with the Munks to let us view these Images.
Coconut Farm We visit an authentic coconut farm where you will see the monkeys at work and get a taste of the fresh milk from coconuts hand delivered by the monkeys themselves. In the past, most of the locals made their living in the coconut farming business. Today Samui still exports more than 1 million Coconut’s yearly to the rest of Thailand.
Wat Khao Chedi This ruined Srivijaya-style monument had been forgotten about for many years. Now, the overgrown path leading to the chedi has been cleared and there’s easy access. You get spectacular views from this vantage point including mainland Suratthani, Bang Kao Bay to Laem Set Point and Koh Tan.
Nathon Town The old capital is Nathon, on the southwest coast of the island. It remains the major port for fishing and inter-island transportation. It has a charming pace and is almost small enough to walk everywhere. Nathon’s middle street beholds many old Chinese shophouses whispering an exotic history.
