Wat Plai Laem, Buddhist temple in Bo Phut, Thailand

The temple features an 18-armed Guanyin statue positioned on an island within a lake, alongside multiple halls and religious structures.

The temple construction, completed in 2004, incorporates the artistic vision of Thai designer Jarit Phumdonming with traditional architectural elements.

The temple complex displays a combination of Thai and Chinese religious traditions through its statues of Guanyin, Budai, and various Hindu deities.

Located off Chaweng Choengmon Road in Ko Samui, the temple maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors for photography and religious activities.

The central Guanyin statue presents eighteen arms arranged in a fan pattern, representing the bodhisattva of compassion in Buddhist tradition.
