Khao Chedi, also known as Rattanakosin Chedi (Baby Buddha Jaidee), is located at the end of Bang Kao Beach, just behind the Laem Sor Pagoda on the southern side of Koh Samui. Perched high on a hill, it offers stunning views of Bang Kao Bay and the islands of Koh Tan and Koh Matsum. The temple itself is charming, particularly the white chedi from which it takes its name and the small white Buddha statues that surround it.

As far as I know, the songthaews that operate on the island don't go to this part of Koh Samui. So you'll need your own transport or to hire a songthaew privately.

Khao Chedi is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
