Subjects : Koh Samui in Thailand is known for its fine sandy beaches and turquoise waters. But the island is not just synonymous with sea in which to dive and snorkel; It is full of places more or less known not to be missed! Waterfalls, sacred statues, markets, lookout points and much more. 2. The NA Muangas falls inland from Koh Samui (11km south of Nathon, in the direction of the 4169 Road), the Na Muang site is home to two waterfalls: Na Muang Waterfall 1 and Na Muang Waterfall 2. The second is the most evocative of the two waterfalls. A walking path of an hour in the mountains will allow you to observe spectacular waterfalls of water. A useful tip: wear your sneakers and don't forget your swimsuit! 3. The Fisherman's market Villagetall Friday nights, in Bophut, at the Fisherman Village, a market is held. Street vendors, beach restaurants and traditional dancers mingle in a festive atmosphere. The little ones will undoubtedly appreciate the French fries on the moment, while the adults can taste a snack made from fried insects. 4. Hua Tanon's Hua Tanon market is another market not to be missed to get in touch with local gastronomic traditions. Stalls with freshly slaughtered meat, baskets filled with vegetables, an explosion of scents and colors of Thai cuisine, with dried shrimp, soybean sprouts, roasted with coconut, biryani chicken and obviously fiery curry. 5. The secret Buddha Gardenas suggested by its name, the Secret Garden of Buddha (Na Mueang, Ko Samui District, Surat Thani 84140) is a very well hidden place in the mountains. Also known as Magic Garden or Namtok Tanim by the few locals who know it, this secret garden hides at 500 meters high. All around a small waterfall there are statues and Buddhas in stone, one more imposing than the other. 6. The Great Buddhas on Big Buddha Beach, the beach of the great Buddha, this monument of 12 meters high is impressive. Although its temple is not great, it is definitely a stopover. Visit it at sunset Time: The view will be spectacular. In fact, the great Buddha is built on the seaside and, at the exit of the temple, the panorama is perfect to admire the sunset

Recommended equipment : Definitely a good zoom and a couple of bright fixed for landscapes and portraits.

Best months : The best time to visit these beautiful places is from October to January, when the rainy season is now far away.

How to get there : You have to take an internal flight from Bangkok lasting about 90 minutes. Arrived on the island there are the classic taxis or "TUC TUC" negligible cost for travel and to rent a scooter.

Visits : For most of the attractions there is no need for a ticket. Only for the floating market and for the Elephant sanctuary.

Notes : My advice is to not eat the street food, also because unfortunately they do not have good hygienic standards. For the rest I highly recommend Lamai Beach and to turn the island entirely with the scooter. In a week you see everything without any problems. Watch out for the left hand rail!!!
