About this audio guide
This guide to Na Muang Waterfall on Koh Samui follows a disagreement locals never quite settled: whether the purple the falls are named for lives in the water or in the granite behind it. It moves between the calm pool at the base of the lower falls and the rougher route climbers take toward its taller neighbor higher on the ridge. Along the way it touches on how an undesigned swimming hole slowly grew a path, a car park, and a ticket booth around it. Best heard with a hand against the wet rock, checking for yourself whether the color is really there.
