About this audio guide
This guide to the pagoda at Bang Kao Beach on Koh Samui traces a chedi that was not always here: villagers first raised it in nineteen oh seven on the mountain above, using bricks cut from coral, before lightning struck it decades later. You will hear about the monk Luang Pho Daeng, remembered in the boat-shaped hall beside the chedi, and about what became of the temple after the storm. Listen with the ridge behind the beach in view.
