Attraction

Wat Teepangkorn sits at the highest point of Samui, offering stunning 360-degree views of the island. The temple itself is semi-abandoned and weathered, which gives it a special atmosphere. You can see a large Buddha statue and 12 animal figures representing the zodiac years. Getting to the temple is not easy: a harsh serpentine road with blind turns leads up, and it’s especially dangerous when it rains. The road from the south is quite broken, and reaching it from Maenam is also difficult. If you drive yourself, it’s best to take the route that starts in Lamai.
