ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Samret Temple (Wat Samret) is devoid of increased tourist attention, so you will almost certainly find yourself here alone. Its visitors are only rare visiting travelers looking for something interesting on the island away from the beaten tourist trails, and rare locals.
Samret is not a very old temple, its age is just over 100 years. But there is a highlight in this temple, and this is a small statue of a seated Buddha carved from a single piece of white marble. It is believed that this statue is the oldest Buddha statue on Koh Samui, and it is said that it was brought from Burma. The statue is located in a separate building surrounded by many other Buddha statues. In addition, the temple has a Buddhist cemetery and a crematorium, and the temple itself is a monastery.
🕐 Working hours
The temple is open during the daytime.
💵Entrance fee / ticket price
Admission is free.
🚶 How to get there
The temple is located in the south of the island (temple on the map), and the most convenient way to get here is by rented transport or taxi. But if it is not difficult for you to walk a little, then you can get to it by minibus (Songteo). The ring road, which is used by minibuses, runs just half a kilometer from the temple, and if you get out in the right place on the road, it is easy to walk to the temple.
