Geocache Description:


A concrete road will lead you to that location. Enjoy the way to Magic Garden and the stone statues in the park. In 1976, up on one of the highest peaks of central Koh Samui, an old, local durian farmer decided to start a Magic Garden. At 77 years old, upon retiring from farming Thailand’s most popular and foul-smelling fruit, Nim Thongsuk started setting up a variety of Buddha statues on his family’s land and kept expanding the park until his death fourteen years later. The Buddhas, animals and deity figures are all hand carved, each with their own unique stone carvings and decorations. Some are arranged in groups, frozen in dance-like poses or with instruments in their laps, others stand alone, but they all tell tales from popular Buddhist folklore and mythology and they all have different meanings. The best time for a visit is early in the morning or in the late afternoon between 4 and 5 p.m. The garden can be accessed for 80 Baht. The cache is outside of the garden. After walking around the garden you can have nearby fantastic views over the jungle and the sea. Not far away you will find the final stage of our multi cache "From Phra Kru to Peak Eye".
