Secret Buddha Garden, also known as Magic Garden or Heaven's Garden, is nestled in the hills of Koh Samui, Thailand. This enchanting attraction, created in 1976 by Nim Thongsuk, a fruit farmer and devout Buddhist, is filled with statues and temples amidst lush jungle surroundings. Nim started constructing the garden at the age of 77, and it showcases an array of sculptures representing various deities, animals, and humans in different poses, including one of Nim Thongsuk himself. The statues and sculptures are interspersed among natural rock formations, with a small waterfall and stream adding to the serene ambiance. The paths meander through the garden, allowing visitors to explore and reflect at their own pace. It offers a tranquil escape from the more touristy areas of Koh Samui and a glimpse into Thai spirituality and artistry. Surrounded by the verdant flora, the garden's elevated position provides scenic views of the surrounding countryside and coast.
