My dream travel to Koh Samui

So I’m going to talk about my dream travel. I really like to visit many places in
the world, with their unique history, culture, objects. But the main object of my
monolog will be about the island of Koh Samui.

Samui is the third largest Island in Thailand and the largest in an archipelago of
more than 80 islands.
It’s a beautiful island that is famed for its stunning palm tree edged beaches and
crystal clear waters.

The most important thing that you need to take a trip to Ang Thong Marine
Park. It features towering limestone mountains, thick jungle, white-sand
beaches, waterfalls and hidden coves and lakes to explore. The protected area of
more than 100 sq km of land and sea has a rich biodiversity. Snorkelling,
hiking, sea kayaking, diving, and simply relaxing are the main activities to
enjoy at Ang Thong.

Set in Jungle surroundings are two beautiful waterfalls that are certainly worth a
visit, the waterfalls are known as Na Muang 1 and Na Muang 2, the first
waterfall flows into a small pool that you can swim in, the second waterfall is
about thirty minutes further uphill and is also just as stunning.

Then the best known and most famous of all the landmarks on this island is the
Big Buddha temple. Known locally as Wat Phra Yai, its golden, 12-metre-tall
seated Buddha statue was built in 1972 and remains one of the island’s most
popular attractions. It depicts a time during Buddha’s journey to enlightenment
where he successfully subdued the temptations and dangers thrust at him by the
devil-figure Mara by meditating and remaining calm. The pose in which he sits
is a symbol of steadfastness, purity and enlightenment.

Also you need to take in the interesting sights at Hin Ta and Hin Yai. If you go
to Thailand you will see things that shock and surprise you, but maybe nothing
quite like this. The rocks were discovered by locals many years ago and are
naturally shaped to look like male and female genitalia. The rocks have been
fondly named Ta (Grandpa) and Yai (Grandma.) The rocks have a story that has
become part of folklore over the years and you can see the story on a sign as
you get closer to the rocks, the story goes that an old couple called Ta Kreng
and Yai Riem were traveling to a neighboring province to see a man called Ta
Monglai to ask that his daughter marry their son, on the way the boat ran into a
storm and they died at sea. The couple then turned into rocks as a symbol of
their intentions.
I also think it is important to visit a few beaches as an example Chaweng beach,
Lamai beach, Bophut beach. Each of them has its own story and a truly
incredible view.

Ok so that’s it about this island, but there are still interesting places to visit that
I didn’t mention.

And why I chose to talk about this island. Because I wanted to get a little more
interested in another culture, find something I would be interested in talking
about and presenting. I also wanted to just admire the photos from Koh Samui
island, because now I probably won’t travel it for a long time, at least virtually.
