We never tire of visiting this temple situated on a cliff not too far from the ferry terminals and looking out over the South China Sea. What a magical location! It's got even better since our last visit with a new, much bigger car park by the side of the temple. You can still park at the bottom and climb up the 100 or so steps if you are particularly energetic! Other buildings works are being carried out but not to the temple buildings. The views are truly wonderful and photo opportunities abound. Inside the temple buildings, there are some wonderful artifacts and it's so cool and peaceful, it's impossible not to enjoy a visit here.

The Koh Samui Meditation Center is a must visit place. Their evening guided meditation sessions are absolutely amazing. There is enough information to understand and be comfortable for a beginner and for someone who has been actively practicing mediation for a while. Before visiting the center, I meditated only for 10 - 15 minutes a day and always felt an urge to finish my practice. However, after my 50 minute meditation @Koh Samui Center, I could not believe that the time flew by so quickly. I feel that the techniques that I have learned there will help me to improve my ability to focus and extend the practice time even more.

“WeGreen” Koh Samui’s way of life, a cultural park, non-toxic vegetable farm and restaurant. This is the new tourist attraction on Koh Samui. And it’s the one and only located in Lamai now open for all of you to visit. Samui Cultural Park, Veggie Farm and Restaurant

This was the best part of the tour. Got to experience the many ways of using coconut; from the plucking of the coconut by a monkey, to dehusking the coconut, grating the coconut flesh, making of coconut caramel and kanom ko sugar dumpling with coconut. Experiencing the Samui culture and trying our hands at some of the stations made it very interactive and educational too. Not to mention the food tasting too. We thoroughly enjoyed walking through these few stations and would highly recommend to all. This was followed. Y a walk through the organic non toxic farm, ending with a healthy and yummy lunch at the restaurant. We were amazed at the effort placed in the freshness and quality of the food, right up to the presentation. Spotting the flowers and butterflies in the dishes brought a smile to our faces. The restaurant is open from 10.30am - 10pm. Can’t say how thrilled we are to have discovered this new kid on the block.

This is the real deal if you are up for an authentic Thai Theravada retreat. It's not easy: up before dawn to the sound of a temple bell, hard beds, no meals after lunch and monster mosquitoes (bring strong repellant). Simple and no frills whatsoever. Buttons will be pushed, but that's the whole point, find out what lies behind your buttons and you have a chance of disabling them forever. A retreat as demanding as this will be life changing for many. I was impressed with the mostly young people attending who gave it their all. If you are older, check that the short but steep climb to the meditation hall will be ok for you (help might be available). K. Reinhardt presented Buddhist teachings to us in an intelligently structured manner, the gentle team at Dipabhavan know what they are doing and they do it well. Lots of meditation time that enables a deep dig into the mind and its tricky ways :-) Something very special here, not least the fabulously lush jungly location!

We made the time to stop here and it was great. Easy to get to from Chewang on scooters and simple to park at the top. Stairs are pretty easy to walk up and once at the top the views are amazing. As other have said go easy before the tours or go Late once everyone has finished for the day. Highly recommended.
