They’re not putting lipstick on the pigs of Koh Matsum but tourists to this remote island are nevertheless dazzled by these barnyard staples that just keep hogging the limelight.
The tiny island is barely inhabited and is located about two kilometers off the south coast of Koh Samui. Two stories have evolved of how these affectionate piggies came to Koh Matsum. One is that they swam across from nearby Koh Taen although that’s a 1km stretch of open sea. The other is that a certain Mr Kitt felt overwhelmed when he saw a small family of pigs at the market in Surat Thani on the mainland. He apparently couldn’t bear to see them given the chop, so he bought the litter and ferried them across to Koh Matsum where he released them. The family has since grown to about 12 and they are quickly becoming Instagram models for visiting tourists.
