A 16-metre bronze statue of Guan Yu — the red-faced Chinese god of war and loyalty — towering over the road near Bang Rak, sword in hand. It marks a Chinese shrine that reflects Samui's old trading links, with a small museum and cafe below. A quick photo stop rather than a long visit, and free. Easy to tack onto the Big Buddha and Wat Plai Laem loop in the northeast.
