Buddha's Garden / View photos in 3D

Secret Buddha Garden on Koh Samui is also known as Magic Gardens and Tarnim Waterfall (Magic Garden and Tarnim Waterfall), as well as Heavenly Garden (Heaven's Garden). This is not a garden in the sense that we are used to. This is a stone garden, and the exhibits in it are statues of Buddha, deities, animals and even a stone house. It was completely created by the hands of farmer Nim Thongsuk in 1976 on his own initiative in order to share this place of quiet solitude with others. The author believed that this place was a real paradise on earth, although he did not live to see the moment when guests began to appear in the garden Koh Samui, especially from other countries.

This is a small-scale place, everything here can be viewed in 15-20 minutes, plus the same amount spent on photographing. The sculptures are located on the slopes of the banks of the stream, which is loudly called Tarnim Waterfall here. When there are no crowds of tourists here, it is very quiet and peaceful, and you can enjoy the murmur of the stream and unusual views of statues for a long time. The most interesting thing here is that the longer you stay here, the more sculptures you will recognize in the stones that are shapeless at first glance. But if you drop into the garden on the run with a large group of tourists, you most likely will not catch the spirit of this meta and will be a little disappointed by what you see.

The garden is located on a mountain, and on the way to it you can meet several more waterfalls and observation decks.

💵Entrance fee / ticket price: 80 baht.

🚶 How to get there: The garden is located on a mountain at one of the highest points of the island (Buddha's Garden on the map). You can get here by rented transport or with an excursion. The second is preferable, because it is not so easy to find a garden on your own. The turnoff from the ring road is directly opposite the temple with mummified monk Wat Khunaram, and there is an explicit sign. Further along the road there will be several more signs, but you need to follow them very carefully, because they are inconspicuous. The road will lead directly to the very entrance to the garden, where it will be possible to park vehicles in the parking lot
