Overlooking the ocean and set along the Bang Kao beach in Koh Samui, is the charming Laem Sor Pagoda, an ideal place to visit when exploring this popular Thai island. If you are in search of a Samui hotel from which to set off on your many excursions then consider Anantara Bophut Koh Samui. This Samui resort on the northern coast provides luxurious accommodation amidst stunning a seaside setting.
Plan a trip to the South West corner of Koh Samui where one will find Laem Sor Pagoda, near the village of Bang Kao. Glittering in the sun, the gold like exterior of this holy site is in actually fact made out of yellow hued tiles. At the entrance one will find two huge statues holding swords, standing guard to the golden image of Buddha that can be found inside. As you explore the site further, you will come across what is known as the Boat Hall which houses an exhibit of a small boat with the figure of the monk who constructed the pagoda.
