Barmy. Why would tourists only want a one way ticket? Bet you get gouged for the return leg.

They have been offering discounts since Covid started. The southern islands have been devastated by this, and are getting little to no help from the feds. When I was there a few months ago, I got a suite that would normally cost 5,000 to 6,000 baht at an ocean front hotel, for 1,500 baht. The room was 90 meters, with terraces wrapping around it. But, the island was in a sad state. Lamai and Chaweng were really hurting, and thousands of businesses have closed around the island. My friends who live there tell me it has only gotten worse.
