วัดเกาะเจริญสันติธรรม
About
In Koh Tao South, วัดเกาะเจริญสันติธรรม (Wat Koh Charoen Santi Tham) is the island’s working temple and a calm reset from beach life. It sits inland on the southern side, an easy scooter hop from Chalok Baan Kao.
Visitors can quietly wander the grounds during daylight. Dress modestly and leave shoes at the door. Early mornings you may spot monks on alms rounds; on Wan Phra (Buddhist holy days) locals bring offerings. There’s a small donation box. Aim for late afternoon shade when the island finally slows down.
