Hotels have been closed, thanks to government policies. Loans have to be repaid. Hotels need subsidies for refurb, recruit and re-open.

I have just been told that Seatran have started allowing bookings and more sailings from tomorrow. Please can anyone confirm?

Bangkok Airways are back up to 30 flights arriving today. The roads on Samui are busy again with wobbling tourists on scooters and minivans everywhere. Villa bookings are almost up to pre-Covid levels this month (92% of July 2019). Should be good news for the local economy.

A quick snap shot from Samui. We manage rental villas and we have been 95% full this month. Bookings are just below (90%+) July 2019 numbers. The roads here are now just as busy as before Covid with lots of tourists wobbling around on motorbikes. Taxis and minivans everywhere shuttling people around. Also agree with the observation regarding nationalities. Pre Covid, maybe 6/7 groups from the USA per year. Since April this year, 2 to 3 groups per week. Then we have Indians, Middle East and France.

Covid - the gift that keeps on giving. (Brown envelopes?)

Then you were easily bought and at such a cheap price.
