✨A must Visit Temple in Koh Samui✨

#cityplaybook 🇹🇭Samui Seascapes🇹🇭 Our 2nd stop is One of Koh Samui’s most attractive temples, the Wat Plai Laem. This extremely colorful, fairly new temple was completed in 2004. Although some of the buildings like the ubosot are in traditional Thai architecture, most of the complex is build in Thai-Chinese style. The Wat Plai Laem temple houses two giant, colorful statues that will immediately catch the eye. The first is the huge image of Guanyin, the Chinese Goddess of Mercy and Compassion who has 18 arms. Guanyin is revered in much of East Asia, in Thailand she is also known as Phra Mae Kuan Im. Guanyin is very highly revered by Chinese people and is known as the protector of women and children, the sick and the poor. She is said to have so many arms, so she can help many people at one time. #xmastrip #myhiddengems #summervacation #freehotelstay #familytrip #localguides #samui #historicallandmarks #mytravelhacks #passionpassport #awesomepic #urbanexplorer #asia #foodie #asiatrip #mustdo #food #trip #travel #naturalwonders #couplestrip #thingstodo #kohsamui #hongkong #springwander #thailand #myitinerary #aprilblooms
