Secret Buddha Garden

Secret Buddha Garden is hidden away high in the hills in Koh Samui’s interior, offering majestic views and an unusual collection of statues amid lush jungle surrounds.

77 year-old Nim Thongsuk, a fruit farmer, started to build the garden in 1976.

The statues depict a number of animals, deities and humans in various poses, including one of Khun Nim himself, in a relaxed position sitting on a rock. A little stream runs through the whole garden.

There are plenty of restaurants and view points along the way to the gardens and it’s well worth stopping at some of these places and have a cold drink or get something to eat and just enjoy the scenery.
