🎬 Island Hopper TV's Ko Samui — temples, beaches and the waterfall

🚶 An old fishing street turned into restaurants and shops. A walking-street market makes Friday nights busier. Nice for a sunset stroll.

⭐ A temple with a giant golden Buddha on a small islet. Cover shoulders and knees, and take off your shoes before climbing the steps.

⭐ A few minutes' drive from the Big Buddha, so visit both together. A many-armed Guanyin statue stands over the lake. Same dress code as the Big Buddha.

🌅 Samui's busiest beach. The street behind it is full of restaurants and tour desks, where many people book Ang Thong Marine Park trips.

🍺 A beach club right on Chaweng Beach. The music gets louder and busier in the evening, so go during the day if you want it calm.

🌅 A small cove framed by rocks, with calmer water than the big beaches. It sits between Chaweng and Lamai, so stop on the way.

🌅 A long beach that's quieter than Chaweng. Walk to its southern end to reach the Hin Ta Hin Yai rocks.

📸 Two rock formations on the coast south of Lamai. The rocks get slippery when wet, so wear shoes with grip. Souvenir stalls line the entrance.

🌅 A viewpoint with a balanced stack of boulders. The path up is steep, so wear sneakers and avoid the midday heat.

⭐ A temple that keeps the mummified body of a monk. Be respectful with photos and keep quiet. It's on the way to Na Muang Waterfall.

🚶 The lower falls are close to the parking lot. The upper falls need a longer forest hike, so bring water and shoes that can get wet.

📸 A hilltop garden of statues in the middle of the island. The road up is steep and narrow, so many people go by 4x4 tour.
