Why go
Look beyond the scale of the seated Buddha: carved naga serpents line the stairway, and the upper terrace looks toward Ko Pha Ngan. The statue, stair and coastal outlook make this a compact temple visit with several distinct views, though the terrace requires a climb.
What to look for
- A 12-metre golden seated Buddha rises above the temple grounds on Fan Island.
- Carved naga serpents flank the staircase to the statue.
- The upper terrace looks across the sea toward Ko Pha Ngan.
Useful to know
- Use the staircase to reach the upper terrace; the sea view is above ground level.
- Check current temple access before relying on a specific visiting time.
