This is a stunning Buddhist temple and if in Ko Samui you need to visit this temple as within minutes walk there are other significant Buddhist landmarks to see.
An incredible building displaying the most wonderful Thai design and craftsmanship.

A beautiful and peaceful temple often overlooked due to its famous neighbor, Wat Plai Laem. Wat Laem Suwannaram offers stunning golden statues, intricate details, and a tranquil atmosphere. A hidden gem worth visiting for quiet reflection and great photos!

Wat Laem Suwannaram is another name for Wat Plai Laem. The temple grounds are located by a ceremonial lake (full of fish). There are interesting very large statues there. The first is the statue of Guanyin with 18 arms, the Goddess of Mercy and Compassion. The second is a statue of laughing Buddha. There is a nice little cafe on the temple grounds. There is no entrance fee. I have included more photos in my review of Wat Plai Laem.
