The message with Covid-19 restrictions from the Governor in Surat Thani (image below), however it might not all instantly apply to Samui.

 

Schools have been closed since Tuesday, and it seems like some restaurants are now closing at 7 pm (by governments order).

Does anyone know what the requirements are for arriving on a flight from Bangkok?  I've been staying in a few places recently -- some result in a yellow QR code and others a green QR code when using the Samui "Health Check" app.   What is required if my QR code is yellow?

 how was the plane ?  was full ??

[khunPer]

May I kindly suggest to post about travelling and access to the islands in the pinned thread about transport...

-or in the thread about "registering Thai visitors...", as it might be confused for others to search information if it's not in the dedicated threads.

 

This thread is about "what's happening on the island, and what is open".

 

Perhaps a moderator would move the posts?

According to Thai news today, tourists flock to Koh Samui during the Chinese New Year holidays...

Google-translate:

February 12, 64 at the pier of the company Seatran Ferry Co., Ltd. is busy with various types of cars. Traveling to Koh Samui Suratthani Province With an increasing number than the past Since it is a holiday in the Chinese culture that the government announced Friday, February 12, 2021, which is Chinese New Year as a public holiday. As a result, there are more people who travel to Koh Samui to travel via ferry. 

 

In addition to tourists, most of them are Thai people. There are still people in Koh Samui working in different provinces. People gradually return to Koh Samui to celebrate Chinese New Year with their brothers and sisters as well, thus making the ferry trip to Koh Samui with a full ferry ride in every trip. There are more cars to enter Koh Samui as well. This makes for a long 3-day holiday, the atmosphere of Koh Samui travel comes back to cook again. From this long holiday during the Chinese New Year, it is expected that there will be no less than ten million baht in Koh Samui.
 

Due to the increasing number of passengers and cars arriving in Koh Samui. Both ferry companies have therefore prepared to supplement the trip to facilitate passengers for Koh Samui...

I can believe khunPer's post.

Most of the villas that we look after are full. Many of them are booked for a month or more.

Definitely more people here than last month and they are staying longer.

Up until last week, mostly expats. This week, Thais are travelling again as well.

Hopefully local businesses are seeing increased earnings.

I have just received a message from  a guest who is trying to return from the mainland to his villa here.

"Arrive tomorrow 100%.

All ferries full today."
