About this audio guide
This guide to the Kuan Yin Temple on Koh Phangan, across the water from Koh Samui, follows Malawan Trivittayanuruk, a Bangkok woman whose nineteen ninety dream sent her looking for a hillside above the fishing village of Chaloklum. It traces how her account spread through the island's fishing community, drawing donations from people who had never met her. Stand facing the water and you will see why fishermen still trust the view from here.
