Boater

A couple of points here

1) have they done an autopsy ? As how can they tell buy just looking there are 50 stab wounds , plus there really isn't a lot of blood around the scene to indicate 50 stab wounds

2) are the police that incompetent ? I mean just watching the video they have contaminated the crime scene with all those people in there !

But Thai women havin a another fella is all so common , and known a few people come back and find there partners with someone else

Oh dear , 2 in one night ! ... And both in tqhe safety zone ...

The police need to get tough on people caught spiking drinks , asit could potentially kill them !

High on drugs and driving a taxi van. lol

My God, this place is a mess. This should also fall into the van owners lap for not drug testing their drivers. I'm guessing he doesn't even have a drivers license.

Most footballers spend that in a night

Wonder how long there protest will last , gonna be quite in chaweng with no where open !

They updated again in English , they are shutting onwards from the 30th !

Because now. These are the entertainment business. Chaweng Beach at all. Traveler closed at 02.00, which is a total entertainment area of Chaweng beach such as SOLO CLUB, GREEN MANGO, SOUND CLUB, SWET SOUL and beer bars all have a meeting to discuss. And do not agree with such a policy strongly. It will have an impact on tourists. Both foreigners and residents of Thailand. Which came to rest on the island so much.

Therefore, we as business entertainment. So there is consensus that Will be closed temporarily. From 30 October 2555 onwards to show how state agencies. Entertainment Koh Samui is important. And government agencies. Should provide more support. To pull tourists, both in Thailand and overseas. Took vacations. Koh Samui is the economy and flexibility of the known world.

In the government's policy. The entertainment business. Be closed within that time period. We as entrepreneurs. Disagree strongly. And I ask everyone's opinion. The people who live there. And do not live on the island. I have to say. With this case. This allows you to serve me. For all the comments. It is through the eye and through the ear or an authorized state agency Thread ...

God I hate these translations.

God I hate these translations.

I think they are saying they disagree , ESP sound club as they are a late venue , and it will kill there business , plus I think they are all shutting on the 30 th out of protest

From sound clubs samui's fb page

เนื่องจากตอนนี้ มีนโยบายให้ธุรกิจสถานบันเทิง บริเวณหาดเฉวงทั้งหมด ปิดให้บริการนักท่องเที่ยว ภายในเวลา 02.00 น. ซึ่งทางธุรกิจสถานบันเทิงบริเวณหาดเฉวงทั้งหมด อาทิ เช่น SOLO CLUB, GREEN MANGO, SOUND CLUB, SWET SOUL และบาร์เบียร์ ทั้งหมด ได้มีการนัดประชุมปรึกษากันแล้ว และไม่เห็นด้วยกับนโยบายดังกล่าวอย่างยิ่ง เพราะจะทำให้มีผลกระทบกับนักท่องเที่ยว ทั้งชาวต่างชาติและชาวไทย ซึ่งมาเที่ยวพักผ่อนบนเกาะสมุยอย่างมาก

ดังนั้น พวกเราในฐานะผู้ประกอบธุรกิจบันเทิง จึงมีความเห็นตรงกันว่า จะปิดให้บริการชั่วคราว ตั้งแต่วันที่ 30 ตุลาคม 2555 เป็นต้นไป เพื่อแสดงให้หน่วยงานของทางรัฐเห็นว่า ธุรกิจบันเทิงบนเกาะสมุยเป็นสิ่งที่สำคัญ และหน่วยงานรัฐ ควรให้การสนับสนุนมากกว่านี้ เพื่อเป็นการดึงให้นักท่องเที่ยวทั้งชาวไทยและชาวต่างชาติ เข้ามาเที่ยวเกาะสมุย อันจะทำให้เศรษฐกิจบนเกาะสมุยมีความคล่องตัวและมีชื่อเสียงเป็นที่รู้จักของชาวโลกต่อไป

ในการที่หน่วยงานของรัฐมีนโบาย ให้ธุรกิจสถานบันเทิง ทำการปิดให้บริการภายในเวลาดั่งกล่าวนั้น พวกเราในฐานะผู้ประกอบการ ไม่เห็นด้วยเป็นอย่างยิ่ง และอยากสอบถามความคิดเห็นของทุกคน ทั้งคนที่อาศัยอยู่ และไม่ได้อาศัยอยู่บนเกาะสมุย ว่ามีความคิดเห็นอย่างไร กับกรณีนี้ครับ ช่วยแสดงวามเห็นกันหน่อยครับ เผื่อความเห็นของทุกท่าน จะเป็นประโยชน์และผ่านหู ผ่านตา ผู้มีอำนาจหรือหน่วยงานของรัฐบ้างครับ...

In a nutshell, this is what it says:

Due to the new policies enforcing entertainment businesses around the entire Chaweng beach area to close before 2.00, there has been a meeting attended by all the entertainment businesses such as SOLO CLUB, GREEN MANGO, SOUND CLUB, SWET SOUL and all the "bar beer". We strongly disagree with the new policies because it will affect tourists both foreign and Thai, who are on holiday here in Samui in large numbers.

We have therefore come to an agreement to temporarily close our businesses starting from 30 October 2012 onwards.

This is in order to show the government agencies how important the entertainment businesses are for the economy of Samui. The government should show us more support in order to attract more foreign and Thai tourists to Samui.

We would like to ask the public's opinion about this new closing policy.

Maybe you can edit it in the first post instead of that bing translation??

Are you sure that is for a suite Boater ? I have been wanting to fly on the 380 since I first saw it. The price you quoted for the HK trip would suit me just fine. I want to show the little lady how the other half lives a couple of times and a weekend in HK flying the 380 Biz would certainly do the trick. Cheers for the tip.

Yes , hence why I brought this thread up , glad someone found it useful

What's the point of this post?

BKK airlines regular web fare is 21k all in, plus you go directly to Hong Kong rather than having to lay over in BKK airport.

There is already a thread for ranting about BKK airlines' prices.

Welfare in economy , but I did mention biz ... But the point of the post is flying a suite on the a380 is a once in a life time for most people , and it may not be knowledge that you can fly there from Thailand to hk for cheaper in a suite , or even 15,000 upgrade fro Econmy to suite which most people will pay , just ordering a bottle of Dom p covers that cost

Since when you get a suite in business class (I thought its first only) ?

Because bkk air don't have first or suites , but for the cost of a bkk air biz class you can fly a suite with another airline

It actually works out cheaper ( if flying biz class ) to get a suite on board emirates airlines A380 ,

Samui to hk , 35995 thb return on biz class , cheapest ticket , compared to 31995 average price for a return on emirates from bkk ! , bkk air might have the lounge , but Dom peri champagne , fine foods , flat beds , on board bar and a shower , emirates wins !

So next time you need to go hk , remember this post
