Religious:
1. Buddha FootprintThere are actually
four foot-prints here, superimposed one on another. Each
one is artistically en-graved. They are housed in a modest
shrine 150 steps up a steep hill, which also offers a great
view across the plains to the mountains opposite, and to
the sea over the tree tops. Buddha's Footprint is not signposted
but can be found by going up a concrete slope on the left.
Location : Two kilometers West of the turnoff for the Butterfly
Garden on the 4170 road.
2. The Leam Sor
ChediIn the grounds of Wat Laem Sor, this ornately
designed Chedi (Pagoda) sits at the rocky water's edge.
Covered in countless small yellow tiles, it appears golden
when viewed from a short distance. It's at the far South
of the island off the 4170 road between Ban Tale and Ban
Pang Ka. Follow the track with a sign that reads "Waikiki
Bungalows", and It's at the end of that.

Pang Ka.

3. Coral
BuddhaFormerly one of Samui's main attractions,
this small, dilapidated statue is now only visited by Buddhist
devotees. Although it is in a state of disrepair, the Coral
Buddha is still revered and is a place of worship for the
monks from nearby Wat Sumret. The only direction sign is
a small tatty board parallel to the road which is easy to
miss when driving past.
Location : on the 4169 ring-road
approximately 800 meters West of Hua Thanon.
4. Wat Khao ChediAlso in the Wat Laem
Sor grounds, but a fair distance away lies the Khao (mountain)
Chedi. Until a few months ago, this ruined monument had
been forgotten about for many years. Now, the overgrown
path leading to the chedi has been cleared and there's easy
access. About 300 meters West of the Laem Sor Chedi there
is a hill. At the base of the hill a small hut can be seen,
and 100 meters to the right of this dwelling, the path is
visible. It leads to a stairway which takes about 10 minutes
to climb. At the top, the peaceful ruins of the Khao Chedi
greet the intrepid explorer. The panorama of Laem Sor Bay
and the nearby islands from here is breathtaking.
Location
: Thong Krut, 300 meters West of the Laem Sor Chedi.
