Long white-sand beaches on Koh Mat Sum (Koh Madsum), known as Pig Island for the pigs that roam the sand, with the Mad Sum Bar for a drink ashore.
Practical
Coordinate is the OSM centre of Koh Madsum; land on the beach from the Koh Taen anchorage, about 2 km east. A landing fee is charged on the island and is not included in tour prices (2026 tour listing). Day boats crowd it at midday; arrive in the late afternoon for a quieter beach. Wikivoyage notes Koh Madsum as a freediving spot.
Best for
Beach afternoon and a sundowner
