The five most Unique Instagram-Worthy Spots in Koh Samui
Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks
It’s not every day you come across fascinating rock formations that are shaped oddly like some parts of your body. But that’s what makes the famous (or rather infamous) Hin Ta and Hin Yai Rocks on Lamai Beach such an attraction. The legend says that the rock formations are the reincarnations of an elderly couple whose boat got washed over by a storm when they were on their way to meet a prospective bride for their son. The male one is Ta (grandpa) and the female one is Yai (grandma). If you look closely, these two rocks look like male and female genitalia. Quite tragic, no? 
Now, why are they named after grandparents and not even parents, you ask?
Wat Khunaram
Although you can find all sorts of big and giant Buddhas in the temples of Bangkok and Phuket, there’s only one in Koh Samui that features an actual mummy! Your followers may not think much of it at first but when they read your caption saying that it’s a mummy, expect a flood of likes and tons of comments to head your way! The preserved corpse of a monk encased in a glass altar in Wat Khunaram is probably the most unique, one-of-a-kind, and possibly most outrageous thing you’d see, not just on the island, but in all of Thailand.

Wat Ratchathammaram
Speaking of temples, most of them come in white, gold, a little bit of green, and the like, right? 
But there is one in Koh Samui that stands out among the rest simply because it only has one color: red! Their opulence stems from their gilded details, colorful decor, and more. And its natural color is actually quite vibrant that it might even grab more attention on your Instagram feed than most of the other places! The entire temple is made out of clay and, apart from the golden Buddha at its center, you won’t find another hue, shade, or tone here! Well, not necessarily crimson, per se, but it’s an earthy red that’s almost terracotta color.
The Library
Sticking to the subject of red, amidst a sea of blues turquoise, white sands, luscious greeneries, and the like, anything red really will stand out, right? 
The incredibly unique The Library hotel in Koh Samui has one huge feature that draws most people, especially Instagram-friendly travelers, to its doors. The transparent rouge glow, however, is ever so fascinating! Its startingly red swimming pool is second to none, almost as it’s filled with wine instead of water. Something like, say, a red pool perhaps? Fortunately, the consistency of the liquid isn’t so thought that it looks like a pool of blood.
The Jungle Club
Among the many foodie hotspots in Koh Samui, you probably never expected one that’d be literally atop a mountain, right? There are seaside restaurants, night markets, and even treetop establishments, but one that’s practically perched on a mountain? 
The Jungle Club hotel may be known for its many bungalows, but it’s the scenic deck that has people taking selfies left and right and sharing them on social media. The fine wooden flooring, the bright red bean bag chairs, and the blue and green scenery of the island make for an eye-catching post worth liking again and again! Now that’s an Instagram-worthy place worth visiting and posting about!
