About this audio guide
This guide to Pig Island, Koh Madsum, off Koh Samui in Thailand, follows a beach-bar owner known as Mr Kitt and a spur-of-the-moment rescue at a Surat Thani livestock market that never should have made him a pig keeper. You will hear how a family of four pigs ended up loose on his sand, and how word of a swimming pig turned a quiet beach into one of the region's stranger tourist stops. It also touches on the uneasy side of that fame. Best experienced from the shallows, watching the water.
