Nice buildings around, close to town. There was a monk stalking us asking for donations every few minutes which kinda destroyed the visit for us.. Very first time such thing happened though.
I think it's the most beautiful temple round Chiang Mai. Nicely located in National Park and on the hill. There are many paintings and carvings. If you want to know some details about this place hire a guide who will tell you the story of Buddha and what the paintings represent.
Great views from the top, it's also a very popular place to visit in Ko Samui, tourists arrive in waves. You can encounter monks and be blessed by them. The Buddha statue is massive indeed.
One of the most popular places to visit in Ko Samui. All the tours stop there, there are always many many people. It's quite pretty, of course it's a must see of the island. The statue is interesting. Go early to avoid masses...
