After filling our bellies with our delicious creations, we&rsquo;ll head to Fisherman&rsquo;s Village and the nearby Bophut Beach for a bit of souvenir shopping or a relaxing stroll at the beach. Then we&rsquo;ll make our way to the Big Buddha &ndash; which features the famous 12 meter tall Buddha statue &ndash; and Wat Plai Laem &ndash; known for the striking 18-arm statue of Guanyin, the Goddess of Mercy &ndash; temples to see the magnificent statues and temple grounds up close.

&ldquo;Wat Phra Yai is one of the must-see statues on Koh Samui. The grandeur is astounding; large, imposing and beautiful, all at the same time. It will not take long to admire the statue and the rest of the property, but it is a worthwhile stop when visiting the island. Highly recommended!&rdquo;<a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g1179396-d456459-r780000325-Big_Buddha_Temple_Wat_Phra_Yai-Bophut_Ko_Samui_Surat_Thani_Province.html" target="_blank"> &ndash; CKF</a>

 
We&rsquo;ll end the day with some stunning views at the hilltop temple of Wat Khao Hua Jook and stopping by the picturesque Lad Koh Viewpoint. If you&rsquo;re eager to squeeze in one more famous landmark, we&rsquo;ll visit Grandfather&rsquo;s Grandmother&rsquo;s Rocks on Lamai Beach.

 
&ldquo;We climbed up the many steps and looked around the pagoda with amazing views. It was very interesting to look inside the room beneath the pagoda and see the many artefacts.&rdquo; <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g293918-d4572971-r749028442-Pagoda_Khao_Hua_Jook-Ko_Samui_Surat_Thani_Province.html" target="_blank">&ndash; Bob, U.K.</a>
