Overview
Overview
Khao Hua Jook Pagoda is a small golden Buddhist chedi on a hill above Chaweng. The temple is known as much for its viewpoint as for the pagoda itself, with wide views over Chaweng Lake, the coastline and Samui Airport.
Because the terrace overlooks the airport runway, it has also become one of the island’s better spots for watching planes take off and land. The temple complex itself is compact, so this works well as a short scenic stop rather than a long visit.

What to expect
What to expect
Expect a short but steep approach followed by a few steps to the pagoda terrace. The main attraction is the panoramic view over Chaweng Lake, Samui Airport and the coast, with the golden chedi providing a striking backdrop. It is still an active religious site, so dress and behave respectfully.
SamuiDeals Tip
Late afternoon is especially good for views and plane spotting. The road up is steep, so take extra care on a scooter and avoid rushing after rain.
