I understand that the Suratthani governor has cancelled all ferries. I would guess that that means Songserm as well. I have just tried to book a ticket for tomorrow 'Oh No! Sorry.

khunPer Posted December 18, 2022 Author Share Posted December 18, 2022 The Meteorological Department at 5 AM warned of high waves in the Gulf of Thailand starting on Sunday, December 18th. This led the governor to prohibit all boats from leaving shore from 8 AM on Sunday until a yet-to-be-determined time on Monday. The governor also cited strong winds and widespread rain throughout the South. Ferry services on the following routes are suspended: Surat Thani-Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao Don Sak-Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao Ko Samui-Ko Phangan-Ko Tao-Chumphon Ratchaprapa Dam in Ban Takhun district Source: TPN National News. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My partner has just told me that they are cancelled again tomorrow. Not sure where that news is from. We have some guests desperate to get to their holiday villa and others that are having to book flights as they need to get home. Other guests stuck in Bangkok - all flights to Samui full. I wonder if the Thai Navy will have to do a supply run to Koh Tao? One less ship available.???? Edited December 19, 2022 by Tropicalevo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunPer Posted December 19, 2022 Author Share Posted December 19, 2022 Richard Barrow says at 6:15 pm: All boats, including ferries between the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, have been told to stay ashore until at least 20th December due to rough seas. Four ships have sunk and one container ship has run aground so far. HTMS Sukhothai also sank last night. Stay safe if you’re down south. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
