Wat Ratchathammaram
Hua Thanon, Thailand
Also called Wat Sila Ngu, this temple near Hua Thanon is distinguished by a deep red ordination hall covered in relief sculpture. The work across its walls invites close attention, making this a satisfying stop for travellers interested in craftsmanship as well as religious architecture. Its coastal position adds another reason to include the southern part of Samui in a day out. Pair it with the nearby shoreline, while giving the temple itself an unhurried, respectful visit.
