FongChi temple

FongChi Temple is a compact Chinese–Thai shrine in Bophut, Koh Samui. Red lanterns and dragon trim frame a small altar where locals light joss sticks on their way to work. It’s a calm, incense-soft pause from the midday sun and the beach scene. Come in the morning for quiet, then pair it with a coffee run in Fisherman’s Village. Dress modestly (shoulders/knees covered) and keep photos to the courtyard. This is a local place of worship—move slowly, speak softly, and follow the incense.
