    is it sewerage waste   ?

    Not so much sewage but some might be . I’m pretty sure it is waste from the buildings as most of these have pipes running out to the sea from what I know of other areas on samui. The way the rings are it is something coming from the beach side and not the sea and at first I thought might be where the sand had been disturbed by people but the beach is empty so I’m going with waste !

    If Koh Samui is so dead why are so many hotel prices astronomically high? 

     

    We have been looking into a few days excursion from BKK in August and rates at top-end hotels are through the roof! (Some are heavily discounted, but many no discount at all)

     

    Normally we would go to Bali (wedding anniversary, we were married there), but don't have that option now.

     

    I get that would normally be high season on Samui, but seriously? I guess trying to keep prices high to offset the low volume (reverse polish logic).

     

    Have also looked at BKK hotels and they ain't cheap either (I am talking about 5 star in both cases). 

    Call zazen hotel or message them on Facebook and you will get a pretty good deal . Great restaurant, not to bad beach and pretty close to fishermans village in bophut although it is quiet there but enough places open to enjoy it.

  3. Is this the guy who done something before basically sitting on a axle with two wheels on it ? 
    If so it was sad that people didn’t donate to him as much as they did to toon when he was running . Although he still raised a bit but I don’t think the government or any high up type gave him anything of note compared to their donations to toon.

    Hopefully this time he will fare better and get through it safely as the roads here are insane as everyone knows !

  4. I will say Christmas to try recoup some of the massive tourism loss and even then I bet there will be hoop jumping and a new type of insurance that you will need to purchase and a fit to fly certificate etc. 
    If not open by Christmas/ February they will lose more people to suicide than they did from Covid as nobody has a job hardly and any that do are on lower wages usually so struggling.

    It was also stuffed last Wednesday night, and quite a number of foreigners inside – also a few young probably stranded Western girls – whilst the pub outside with more contemporary Western music is full of aliens, and an equal number of Thai ladies; with some usual well known faces among the ladies...????

     

    The music style inside is very Thai, in my modest opinion boring repeating in eternity eight heavy drum/bass bars and a break, where you are supposed to "raise your f..... hands".

    I however think you are very mistaken about half the girls being bar girls when stating 95 percent are Thais, They are not bar girls, it's local "normal" girls having a night out – including numerous attractive singles that unfortunately are mainly, or only, looking for handsome Thai men – and many of the females might even be together with their boyfriend or husband, where a group of girls will stay dancing together whilst the males are drinking; there's no dance floor, you dance by the tables.

     

    Also the other typical Thai nightlife places are full, even on weekdays' nights. Many of the locals on Samui have money enough for regular partying, and right now they even have 3½ month dry-season to catch up with...????

    Yeah anytime I heard the music in the place it was awful. Guess it’s to cater for the audience there , certainly the music isn’t like any large club i would go to.

    Apparently they didn't visit Black night club further down the soi in the photos, as that was where everybody were heading to last night – both Thais, and the usual ladies and partly ladies, and stranded foreigners, and expats – the place was not crowded, it was packed like fully loaded salted fish-barrel...:whistling:

    Yep and seen videos of last few days and it’s packed with 95% Thais . Half of them being bar girls though , but you have to wonder where they get all the money as even on say a Tuesday night it’s packed . ????????

    Oh and it obviously closes at 12am ????????????
