Located on Route 4169, which leads to Wat Khunaram, this small temple welcomes you with a large, richly decorated gate. Its most interesting feature is probably the chapel filled with Buddha statues.

You can use the songthaews (shared taxis) of Samui to get dropped off near the entrance to Wat Samret, but it is of course still more practical to have your own means of transport or to hire a taxi or VTC.

Wat Samret 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.

How to get there

How do you get to Wat Samret? You can take a songthaew (shared taxi) from Samui and be dropped off near the entrance to Wat Samret, but it is of course more convenient to have your own transport or to hire a taxi or VTC.
