Don’t miss the chance to toss a coin into the lake for good luck, feed the fish, or simply marvel at the intricate Buddhist and Chinese artistry. Whether you’re seeking serenity or a splash of island culture, Wat Plai Laem offers a magical escape that stays with you long after you leave. #localguides #kohsamui #watplailaem #thailand
