Wat Ratchathammaram, also known as the Red Temple, is a unique and lesser-known temple in Koh Samui. Unlike the usual golden temples, this one is made of deep red laterite stone, giving it a striking look. The carvings on the walls tell Buddhist stories and add to its mystical vibe.

📍 Location: South of Lamai Beach
💰 Free entry
👀 Why visit?

  • Beautiful red sandstone design 🌺

  • Detailed carvings of Buddhist legends

  • Peaceful, non-touristy atmosphere

It’s a quick but interesting stop, perfect if you’re exploring the Lamai area and want to see something different from the usual temples! 🛕✨
