About this audio guide
This guide to the Hua Thanon Fish Market on Koh Samui follows the Thai-Muslim fishing families who work this shore, tracing their line back through Chinese settlers to the Orang Laut sea nomads who fished these waters long before Samui had a name. It moves between the painted long-tail boats on the beach, the daily catch, and the island's only mosque a few streets inland. Listen for what the fishermen say a fresh coat of paint is really for.
