Invitingly beautiful and a must visit while on a trip to Ko Samui (or Koh Samui as it is also known), the Secret Buddha Garden, Ko Samui is one of the most important tourist attractions of Ko Samui. The garden which was built by a Samuian fruit farmer around the year 1976 called Nim Thongsuk, who was 77 years old when he started building the garden. This has also resulted in another name for the garden. It is also fondly known as Uncle Nimm's Garden.
The garden, which is surrounded by jungles and rocky hills, is slightly difficult to reach, which, however, is not considered to be much of a hindrance for tourists on a holiday in Ko Samui. A number of tours are conducted in the area, which covers a number of other nearby tourist attractions of Ko Samui as well. The entirety of the tour takes around 2 hours if started from the Lamai Temple and is an extremely enjoyable ride. Perhaps another important attraction on the route to the Secret Buddha Garden, Ko Samui is the highest point on the island, which overlooks some of the most spectacular sceneries surrounding the region.
The entire garden is adorned with sculptures and structures depicting both humans, in various poses, as well as various deities.
