The Secret Buddha Garden, also called the Magic Garden, is the highlight of this Koh Samui day trip. Dave and Kim visit the sculpture filled hilltop garden, continue to the Khao Yai Waterfall, and along the way show the many options for getting gas in Thailand.
The Magic Garden on the Hill
The Secret Buddha Garden sits in the hills of Koh Samui, a collection of statues and sculptures created by one man whose creativity Dave calls amazing. Tucked away in the island's interior, it feels wonderfully removed from the beach scene and ranks among the most unusual attractions on Koh Samui. Dave describes it as an amazing short trip that will leave you amazed.
Khao Yai Waterfall
From the garden, the trip continues to the Khao Yai Waterfall, one of the island's inland natural stops. Koh Samui's waterfalls are at their best in and after the rainy season, and pairing a waterfall with the hilltop garden makes a satisfying loop through the island's mountainous center.
Getting Gas in Thailand
A practical thread runs through the video: the many options for getting gas while in Thailand. Beyond full service stations, fuel is sold by roadside vendors in bottles, especially on islands. For visitors renting a scooter or car, this segment answers a real everyday question before it comes up on the road.
