About this audio guide
This guide to Ko Pha Ngan, off Koh Samui in the Gulf of Thailand, is about the people who worked the island long before the backpackers arrived. It starts with one islander's memory of dirt roads, then follows the coconut growers, the Chinese oil traders and the tin miners of Thong Nai Pan and Srithanu. Listen with a hillside of coconut palms in view.
