The 10 Best Temples & Cultural Sites in Koh Phangan, Ranked
This lot is overwhelmingly quiet Buddhist temples, several of them on hilltops, with a Chinese shrine to Kuan Yin and a jungle waterfall breaking up the run. The one I'd single out is Cacao King at the Temple of Sacred Scents, the only entry with a perfect score and the only one that costs anything. Ranked on Google rating, with review numbers settling ties.
