Big Buddha

One of Samui's fastest developing areas, Big Buddha benefits from its proximity to the airport and popular Chaweng Beach. Named after the statue that gives the beach its name it's also one of the most convenient places to catch a ferry or speedboat to Had Rin on the island of Koh Pha Ngan - home of the famous Full moon party. Quiet and unassuming, Big Buddha Beach has its own festivals and local events. Overlooking the beach, is the large Buddha statue that gives the beach its name and is the island's most popular tourist attraction.
