About this audio guide
This guide to Tarnim Magic Garden, high on Pom Mountain above Na Mueang on Koh Samui, follows Nim Thongsuk, the durian farmer who pioneered the island's grafted-fruit trade and then, in old age, turned a jungle ravine into a private garden of stone gods. You'll hear how a man with no training and no crew spent his final years shaping monks, dancers and moss-covered creatures beside the waterfall. Walk the mossy stream-side path slowly; many of the figures are easy to miss among the boulders.
