About this audio guide
This guide to Lad Koh Viewpoint on Koh Samui's ring road starts with a habit nearly every passing driver keeps without thinking: a short honk of the horn at the cliff-top shrine here. It traces why islanders built that spirit house on this exact curve, between Chaweng and Lamai beaches, and what the drop below the railing has to do with it. Along the way it takes you down the stairway of bare granite to where the cliff meets open water. Go early, before the wedding parties and the tour vans arrive.
