Hin Lad, close to the town
cascades over several levels and has a pool at its base which is ideal
for fresh water swimming. Rather more scenic is the Na Muang Falls on
the eastern side of the island. It is impressive with a wide drop of 30
m and also has a sandy-bottom pool at its base where one can swim.
On the neighboring Ko Fan,
connected to Samui by a causeway, is the temple of Wat Hin Ngu. Here there
is a largely statue of the seated Buddha, imposingly sited on the hillock
and dominating the skyline, looking especially awe-inspiring at sunset.
Attached to the temple a meditation center which offers tuition to Thais
and foreigners.
 Situated
in the south of the island, the Na Tian Butterfly Park, in addition to
displaying numerous species of butterflies, has a bee house and a museum
of rare insects. A coral reef can also be viewed from a glass-bottomed
boat.
