More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A speedboat cuts a clean line across the Gulf of Thailand and the sea seems to push you toward a small white beach where pigs root in the sand and turquoise water invites you to slip in. On arrival at Koh Madsum (Pig Island) the world simplifies: sun, shallow reef, and porcine curiosity. Kayaks sag gently at the shoreline, snorkel masks fog and clear, and the island’s handful of villagers move through a day paced by tides and tourists.
