Koh Samui is a considered an important religious destination by the local community and a tourist city by the visitors to the Island. The Buddha Footprints located within a hillside shrine attract locals and tourists alike. The four large footprints, ornately engraved, are said to be over 300 years old. The shrine can be reached after a climb of 150 steps and was built in veneration of the enlightened one. The Footprints could be visited while staying at a Koh Samui Resort or even a Chaweng Hotel. A great place to lodge is at the Anantara Lawana Koh Samui which will give you the opportunity to explore Koh Samui to your heart’s content.
