Discovering the Charm of Koh Mad Sum

In Koh Samui, one of the most popular excursions is a tour to Koh Mad Sum, also known as Pig Island. This tour offers a wide variety of options, and we chose one that included visits to two islands, with lunch and free time on each.

Pigs in Koh Mad Sum

The journey to Koh Mad Sum was by speedboat, and the waves splashed quite a bit, so almost everyone arrived at the island wet. Be sure to dress appropriately; swimsuits and light clothing are recommended. It’s hot in Thailand, so you won’t get cold, but to avoid searching for a place to dry your clothes, bring a dry set to change into. The boat ride isn’t very long, taking about 15-20 minutes.

Upon arrival at Koh Mad Sum, I suggest immediately securing a spot at a table or on a lounge chair, depending on your preference. Since this popular destination sees many boats every day, it can get quite crowded. The island is famous for its friendly pigs that roam the beach, making it a unique and enjoyable experience for visitors of all ages.

Unforgettable Memories Await at Koh Mad Sum

Our family absolutely loved this place. We had never been to a similar destination before. There are plenty of friendly pigs on the island, and quite a few dogs as well, all of which are friendly too. There’s a kiosk where you can buy drinks, snacks, and fresh fruit. They also sell food for the pigs and dogs.

Don’t forget to feed the dogs too, as most tourists focus on the pigs, who are often well-fed. Be prepared for the animals to relieve themselves wherever they want, so watch your step carefully. I should mention that the beach is cleaned daily. The sand is beautiful, the lounge chairs are well-maintained, and the water is clear and lovely.
