This 4x4 safari roams the backcountry of Koh Samui, exploring the natural and cultural sites you don't see from the coast. The fitted-out pickup can take tracks that ordinary cars can't manage and reach viewpoints up in the hills.
The route starts at the Chinese Warrior temple, which honours the island's Sino-Thai community, then reaches the giant Buddha of Wat Phra Yai, a twelve-metre golden statue perched on an islet linked by a causeway. The vehicle then heads deep into the inland jungle: stops at the Na Muang waterfalls, a swim possible in the natural pools, and lunch at a perched restaurant with a 270-degree view.
