Samui also has many sister islands; Koh Tao, (top diving destination in Asia) Koh Phangan(known for it's Full Moon Party), Angthong National Marine Park, Koh Tan and beautiful Koh Nang Yuan.
Samui's most popular attraction, The Big Buddha sitting 15 meters tall was built in 1972 by the local society to give visitors a place to pay respect to The Lord Buddha. This monumental landmark is placed on the island's Northern shore.
