Samuilians Villa Grand View Hotel - G3VC+3GP Ko Samui

[Andy On Tour]

I had had this huge hotel complex on my radar for a long time but never found the entrance. I finally found him after a long search. No wonder I've been looking for so long. The road to the complex is now blocked with a wall, in front of which the rubbish is still piling up. You have to come to that first. The hotel consists of three large buildings, although only this one seemed to be finished and fully used. I couldn't find out why it was abandoned. It must have been before the pandemic, since the trees that are now growing in the building are already of a corresponding size. I only visited one of the other two buildings, as the second one was just a shell. The whole complex was supposed to be expanded, but that never happened.

@Andy On Tour You do realise that whilst your photographs are interesting, you are in fact trespassing on private property?

Your actions are illegal in Thailand and you risk being reported to the police by any locals who may not like what you are doing.

You need to be careful.

I know it. It´s not only in Thailand iligeal, i think it´s in all areas not allowed. But i look everytime that´s nobody there and i do this since i´m a kid. I love to expolre abandoned areas and i have in all the years and countrys no problems. If someone is coming and see me, i talk with them in a normal way and show him what i do. The only thing in many years i must delete my pictures on the cam.

I remember that monstrosity. Someone lost their shirt on that one. How much marketing research do you think went into the project? 

 

There is an ample field of dreams mentality here. Build it, and they will come. Nope. I do not think so. 

 

And this is the first time I have even heard the term Samuilians. Was that just invented, or is it real? 

 

Samuite?

Samuipudlians? 

Samuian? 

Samugeleno?

I found the Name on a plate in some rooms

I assume it’s the building at the north end of Chaweng? After almost being finished it was deemed too high. Max 3 floors allowed. All played out around 15 or so years ago.
