Wat Plai Laem temple has a large laughing Buddha and a thousand-armed Guanyin

# Sign up for hotel trial sleepers in December Most of the people who go to Koh Samui are chill and relax, but less tourist attractions. Because Wat Plai Laem has a large Laughing Buddha and a Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, it is a tourist attraction with other Thai statues and has a unique style, so many people go there. It is said that it was paid for by local overseas Chinese, and the style is particularly blingbling, somewhat similar to Burmese style. The most special thing is that it is built on the water, which is perfect for the island of Samui. Unlike the traditional Thai temple system, it has a small Chinese style. But even the Buddha of Fortune and Honor went together, right next to him.
