The small Wat Sila Ngu temple also known as Wat Ratchathammaram is located at the top of Hua Thanon beach in the south of Koh Samui. Accessible by a staircase from the beach or by a door from the road, it is a still little known by tourists Buddhist temple and rarely mentioned in guide books yet. The stone snake pagoda, ''Phrataht Hin Ngoo'', its nickname, hosts a beautiful red ordination hall with beautiful sculptures in relief on the exterior and interior walls.
Wat Sila Ngu is less than 2 kilometers from the famous Hin Ta Hin Yai rocks so why not come just before or after?

To get to Wat Ratchathammaram or Wat Sila Ngu Temple, it is the same place, if you are not transported, depending from where you are coming, there are the songthaews (shared taxis) which criss-cross the island and go at least as far as Hin Ta Hin Yai (the grandfather and grandmother rock) which is just over a kilometer from the temple. Hin Ta Hin Yai is also one of the Koh Samui Smart Bus stops.
