A hilltop Buddhist temple in Taling Ngam on Koh Samui's quieter west coast. The site features statues of the Buddha and local deities set among tropical forest, with views across the Gulf on clear days. The access road is steep — scooter or truck recommended. Entry is free, as it is at most Thai temples. Combine with nearby Na Muang waterfalls or the west coast drive.
