Koh Madsum (Pig Island, Koh Mutsum)
from Phuket

Another picturesque tropical paradise off the southern coast of Koh Samui, close to Koh Taen: Koh Madsum is one of the smaller islands around Koh Samui with beaches bordered by beautiful sandy stretches.

In recent years, it has gained greater popularity thanks to pictures on social media of bathers with the island's stars: a horde of pigs. They are not afraid of contact, but are quite willing to pose for a selfie in return for a small edible service.
Beside of that Koh Madsum shelters a quiet restaurant and a bar.

Koh Madsum (Pig Island, Koh Mutsum) definitely belongs to the best islands near Phuket for boat trips.
