Soak in the scenery and admire Buddhist art and architecture at Pagoda Khao Hua Jook. Recognizable by its ornate golden dome, the temple is surrounded by lush and tranquil nature. The small hill on which the pagoda is positioned offers excellent views of the Chaweng Lake and the surrounding countryside on one side, and the Samui airport on the other, making it a great vantage point for plane spotters. The pagoda is not accessible via public transportation, but you can reach it by private car or on an organized tour. Admission to the temple is free, but donations are accepted. Put Pagoda Khao Hua Jook on your schedule, and learn what else deserves a visit by using our Bophut day trip planning app.

A rather long stairway lead to the Pagoda Khao Hua Jook. Funny to notice the many cock's crowing all the time. The interior of the temple is amazing with golden pillars and three holy persons.

20bht entry plus donations for chilled bottled water. Great viewpoint for the surrounding area. A short walk from the Central Samui shopping mall. Last 500m quite steep.

You have to check this place out, the top view point is incredible and only 20 baht to do. Around it you will see monks, Thai golden statues and feel the peace and tranquility of the mountain. Not much walking, parking outside

Beautiful views. Tranquil. Been here twice and love visiting the place. Can drive up the hill and then just a few dozen steps to the top. Nice spot to watch planes take off and land on Samui airport.

Monthly place of worship for me. It's a long walk up so be prepared if you are not driving. Dress code must be observed the same as every temple in Thailand. For tourists, just look out for signage to guide you around and if you are unsure of the step to pray ,look for the old lady who is usually near the stairs where you can head up to the highest point of the temple. I'm not sure if they still charge a fee so just check around. Anyway, that's sort of like a donation towards the upkeep of the place . Parking is available for both bikes and cars along the slip road around the temple.

Very beautiful temple on top of the hill from which you can see the whole area. We were there when it was cloudy 😁 but what can we do when the weather has been like this for a couple of days. must visit recommendation 🥰
