Kuan Yin Temple
A vivid Chinese Buddhist shrine rich in colour, incense and island history.
Named after the Chinese goddess of mercy, the Kuan Yin Temple is one of Koh Phangan's most striking places of worship — its gateway and rooflines bright with red and gold detail against the surrounding greenery. The temple serves the island's Chinese-Thai community and is an active place of prayer, with incense offerings and ceremonial colour that make it a compelling contrast to a beach day. Located on the east-coast road, it makes a natural stop when looping toward Thong Nai Pan.
