This Chinese temple has a rich history which dates back to 1990 where most of the island was without electricity. It was founded by Mrs Malawan who had a dream about the Chinese Goddess Guan Yin who advised her to establish a firelight on the island. You will find a statue of Guan Yin, a magnificent statue of a smiling buddha and many Taoist deities.

Bottle beach viewpoint is by far the best viewpoint of Koh Phangan. You will get a magnificent view over Bottle beach and the pristine jungle. You can either get there by taxi boat or by bike. If you go by bike, park it at the parking spot as close down to the beach, as it is impossible to ride back with a motorbike. You can either walk down to the beach which takes around 15 minutes or call a 4WD taxi. From the beach it takes around 45 minutes by foot up the mountain and through the jungle to get to the viewpoint. We recommend wear shoes and don’t forget to take water, and your camera with you!
Amsterdam Bar is the most visited viewpoint bar of Koh Phangan. It is one of the best spots on the island to catch a memorable sunset overlooking the ocean.

360 Bar is a great spot to enjoy an amazing view during the day or sunset. It features a 360 degree view over the island. The road up there is quite steep so be careful going up there with a scooter. Due to recent times, the bar is not in the greatest condition but the view definitely makes it up.
Phaeng Waterfall is located in a jungle area of the Than Sadet National Park. Close by is also the Dom Sila viewpoint which is worth a visit as it is nearby.
We recommend going there to go during the wet season otherwise there is not much water running down.
Than Sadet Waterfall is the most scenic waterfall of the island. It is a cascading fall about 3 kilometers long with plenty of freshwater pools where you can cool down from the heat.
