SURAT THANI, Dec 24 (TNA) – Crowded planes were landing on Koh Samui as Thai and foreign tourists were arriving on the southern island for their year-end vacations.

 

As many as 22 flights were scheduled to land with over 2,000 visitors today alone. Bangkok Airways had to operate extra flights to serve the traffic.

 

All Thai visitors must be fully vaccinated and pass body temperature screening. Visitors arriving on international flights must show their full vaccination documents and pass RT-PCR tests. Thanks to the strict disease control measures, Koh Samui has rarely detected COVID-19 cases.

That is not true...

 

24th December

Samui +14 new cases 
Phangan +4 new cases

Koh Tao, no data

Compared to approximately 90.000 people living on Samui, then 14 cases would equal more than 10.000 daily cases if compared the to nations population of 70 million people.

 

The number daily new Covid-19 cases has within the last month jumped up and down between 4 and 69 new daily cases, equaling about 3.000 to more than 50.000 new daily cases if it's relative based on the whole population of Thailand.

We just hope that the authorities see some sense and keep to the word of the PM that Thailand once opened will not close!!!!

He's already broken that pledge by shutting the test and go option. For every 1000 via the test and go, I'd imagine you may get 20-30 on a 14 day quarantine

Most planes landing in Koh Samui may be crowded but that is the reason to wear your KN95 or N95 masks and

do not take them off during the short 1 or 2 hour flight. With the risk of COVID, I would not be relaxing and

eating and drinking without the mask on any shorter flight than 5 hours. Safety first.

  Seasons Greetings to all.
