Down from Phu Samui, go take a look at Pah Taem’s largest stone slaps Sao Chaliang yak. At Baan Pah Chun, view the 500-meter long Tham Mued a cave through which one can walk to see the Mekhong’s view, Than Long Boran with coffins of ancient time under the beliefs in the reunion of spirits of the dead; and Sao Hin Tang that stands prominently in the hill evergreen forest of Teng Rang.
Pah Nang Khoy a cliff to the east of Phu Samui with a legendary tragedy of a local maiden waiting for her lover who never appeared so took her own life by plunging down. Sad as it was though, but today this is a good viewpoint overlooking as far as Amphoe Pho Thong, for the scenery of Mekhong and for the sunset. |
