Why go
This route suits visitors who want a mix of views, shopping and beach time without roaming across the island. The hilltop temple gives the day its opening panorama. Central Samui provides a flexible middle stop before the longer beach visit. These three stops make a complete local outing; add Chaweng Night Market only if you confirm that it is operating when you plan to visit. The climb to the temple and the actual walking route deserve a check on the day. Spend less time in the shops if you prefer more time on the sand.
