Wat Koh Samet - Only Temple on the Island - 7 Meter Tall Smiling Buddha
Wat Ko Kaew Pitsadan - the Only Temple on the Island
Wat Ko Kaew Pitsadan took its name from an alternate for Koh Samet coined by Sunthorn Phu in his Phra Aphai Mani literary epic.
Accessible directly from the road that runs behind Ao Sai Kaew, a white concrete Buddha image sits around seven meters tall from the pink-lotus base to the gold-painted umbrella placed above the head. Held up in front of the chest, the index finger of the image’s right hand is bent over the thumb in an unusual gesture.
The temple also has a new ordination hall and Wihan that are still being constructed. The ordination hall will be open on the sides, allowing a breeze to flow through the building, which is very unusual. The detail work and styling is very nice and will be amazing when it is completed.
Though only marginally interesting by general Thai temple standards, the big Buddha is worth a stop if you happen to be in the area.
Enjoy the video!
