Tarnim Magic Garden, also known as "Secret Buddha Garden" or "Tarnim Waterfall," is a hidden sculpture garden located on Pom Mountain in the heart of Koh Samui. It was founded by Nim Thongsuk, a former durian farmer, who began creating it in 1976 at the age of 77 and continued until his passing. The garden features various sculptures, including Buddha statues, angels, deities, musicians, mythical creatures, and statues of Nim with his parents. The garden is adorned with a small waterfall and stream that flow through, creating a tranquil atmosphere. Covered in moss and vines, the garden exudes an ancient and mysterious charm. Situated approximately 500 meters above sea level, it offers cool weather and stunning views of Koh Samui. Entrance fees typically range from 40–80 baht per person (free for some Thai visitors, 80 baht for foreigners).

Taking advantage of the fact that the third season of "White Lotus Hotel" has just started airing, I came to the real stage of the scenes in the show - Koh Samui, Thailand. Switching from the TV series to reality, wandering in the same beaches, beautiful scenery and lazy atmosphere is like walking into a real slow-paced drama. ⸻ 📍Day 1｜Check-in plot begins: Switching from audience to character • Arrive at Koh Samui (USM) by plane and stay at the first row hotel on the beach • Put on your holiday clothes, step barefoot on Chaweng Beach, and experience the first scene from the protagonist's perspective • In the evening, have a Welcome Drink on a beach lounge chair, listen to the sound of the waves and recall Tanya’s extravagant life • Dinner will be served at the hotel restaurant, with grilled tiger prawns and coconut milk curry to welcome the first night of awakening of the five senses • Optional: Rewatch the first episode of Season 3 of "White Lotus" with the background music playing in sync with the waves ⸻ 🚩Day 2｜Role switching: Empty your mind during the day and observe human nature at night • After breakfast, I participated in a stand-up paddle boarding activity and practiced balancing on the sea. I thought to myself: "This feels much simpler than interpersonal relationships." • Book a beach massage in the afternoon to heal jet lag and mood • Take a walk to Fisherman’s Village in the evening and eat night market food while observing the interaction between travelers of different nationalities: "These young people from the UK look like the supporting characters that will appear in the next episode" • Bar tour at night: Don’t drink too much, people who drink too much in the show don’t end up well. 🏖️Day 3｜Plot development: Abnormalities hidden in daily life • Arrange a snorkeling trip or explore the islands at Ang Thong Marine Park • Met backpackers from London on the boat and listened to them talk about the party the night before • After returning to the hotel, I lay by the pool, reading a book while eavesdropping on the quarrel between the couple next door. I imagined the little drama in my mind. • Dinner at the hotel, choose a fusion meal combining Thai and European styles • Goodnight wine + sea-viewing meditation at night: “Is it the environment that heals me, or am I choosing to escape temporarily?” 🍜Day 4｜Real life on the island: more dramatic than drama • Sleep until you wake up naturally, have breakfast on the hotel balcony, and relax while watching the sea • Change hotel or upgrade room type in the afternoon to experience different roles in life • If you live in a backpacker hostel, you will feel the real chaos: some people drink and quarrel in the public area, some people bring strangers back in the early morning • Female travelers’ advice: Choosing a hotel with independent space will really improve your sense of security and sleep quality • Return to a quiet room at night and thank yourself for your rational decision again 🎬Day 5｜Open ending: What is left on the island, memories or foreshadowing? • Take a final walk along the beach after breakfast and look at the newly arrived tourists. Do you look like yourself in the previous episode? • Review of the five-day plot: Did you also reorganize your inner self on this island? • Order an iced coconut before checking out and say to yourself, “See you next season.” • If time permits, you can visit Secret Buddha Garden to end your journey in peace in the mountains ⸻ 📷Shadow Phase • Chaweng Beach sunset and waves • Infinity pool + bartending + book-style selfie • The foggy stone statues at Secret Buddha Garden • Fisherman’s Village old street lights at night 🍜Special Food • Tom Kha Talay (seafood soup with coconut milk) • Thai green papaya salad + fried pork skin • BBQ lobster on the beach • Bangkok style hand logo milk tea / coconut ice cream cart 🏠Accommodation recommendations • The Ritz-Carlton Koh Samui: Luxury White Lotus • SALA Samui Chaweng Beach Resort: Design and privacy • Girls, please note: If you choose a backpacking hotel, it is recommended to choose a hotel with high reviews and female-only rooms to avoid sudden "plot developments" late at night 💡Notes • Koh Samui is mainly a resort town. It is recommended to choose a hotel on the first row of the beach. You can complete all activities around the hotel throughout the day. • The UK has many young tourists and an active nightlife, so you need to pay special attention to safety when going out at night and staying in hotels • Sun protection, mosquito protection, and sudden role changes
