About Tarnim Magic Garden
Tarnim Magic Garden is a hilltop sculpture garden in the lush interior of Koh Samui. Stone Buddhas, mythical figures, animals and musicians sit among moss-covered rocks, tropical plants, streams and small waterfalls, creating a cool, tranquil setting away from the coast. The garden is compact and suits visitors who enjoy photography, nature and unusual cultural attractions. Access involves a steep, rough mountain road, so a 4WD vehicle or organised tour is more suitable than an inexperienced scooter ride.
