Wat Khao Chedi is a hilltop temple in the Taling Ngam area on Koh Samui's west coast, featuring a prominent chedi (stupa) with Gulf of Thailand views. It receives far fewer visitors than the Big Buddha, which gives the site a more peaceful atmosphere. Rated 4.8 from over 280 Google reviews — unusually high for a small temple. Free to enter; cover shoulders and knees as this is an active place of worship.
