About this audio guide
This guide to the Blue Lagoon viewpoint on Koh Mae Ko, in Koh Samui's Ang Thong Marine Park, follows a rumor that traveled farther than the island itself. In the nineteen nineties a young British backpacker named Alex Garland heard stories about this sealed volcanic lake while trading tales on Koh Phangan, stories that became his novel The Beach. You'll hear why the film crew that followed his book never actually climbed these stairs. Bring water for the climb; the view opens all at once near the top.
