Pig island? That’s a yes from me! 🐷🐽
Koh Madsum, known to tourists as Pig Island, is a small island approximately 30 minutes from Koh Samui by boat. As its name suggests, visitors come here to see the local residents - the pigs!
Upon arrival, you pay a small entrance fee and get a bottle of water (as the pigs are extremely thirsty). Besides that, there are a few cafes where you can grab drinks and food for yourselt.
You can also buy special food for the pigs - just grab a plastic plate and serve it to them.We were lucky enough to see over a dozen piglets while we were there!
But how did the pigs get here? No one knows for sure. Maybe they survived a shipwreck nearby, maybe they swam from the mainland, or maybe they were brought here solely to attract tourists. The most widely accepted story, however, is that a local bar owner saved four pigs from slaughter and brought them to the island. Overall, expect to spend 30-60 minutes here, or even longer if you’d like to sit and relax on the beach.
Since many people arrive on traditional long-tail boats, great views are guaranteed - just watch out for pig poo!💩
