One of the most popular islands in Thailand, Koh Samui is famous for its golden beaches, delicious food—and swimming with wild pigs! If you’re in the mood for an unusual adventure, this is one of the best things you can do while in Thailand. 

The real name of Pig Island is Koh Madsum. The pigs that live here enjoy hanging out with people in shallow waters. You can play with them, give them snacks, take photos, and spend a fun day in their company. 

Expect crowds at the sight as it’s constantly a bit busy, even now during the pandemic. You may have to wait for your turn to play with the pigs, but there are plenty of sunbeds for relaxing on the beach while you wait. 

The pigs are used to hanging out with people and they are very friendly. They enjoy being fed and you can give them pig food that’s sold at the island café.
