Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Two enormous stone hands stand by the roadside next to a cluster of concrete fruit – the sight is more reminiscent of Wonderland than anything else on Koh Samui. And that's precisely what makes it so appealing. You climb the stairs integrated into the sculptures, take photos, and move on. Ten to fifteen minutes is plenty.

Most people discover it on the drive up the mountain, often on the way to the Magic Garden of Tarnim, and that's how I would view it too: as a stopover, not a destination. It's quiet, and that's part of its charm. It's also visibly unfinished, with rough construction and some questionable-looking electrical work, so don't get your hopes up too high. If you like quirky, half-finished curiosities, you'll enjoy it. If you expect perfection, move on.

Anyone who has ever warned about being up there offers urgent advice: The surfaces are slippery and there is no fall protection. No railing, no soft landing. Wear shoes with good tread and think very carefully about whether you want to let small children climb around unsupervised.
