Siam Rath reported from a meeting in Koh Samui in the south of Thailand making preparations for the arrival of the first luxury cruise liner to dock there since the pandemic.

 

The Viking Mars will arrive next Sunday morning and stay until the evening when she will continue her journey north to Laem Chabang in Chonburi. She is coming from Singapore.

 

On board will be 700 European tourists who will spend the day sightseeing on the holiday island.

 

Samui district chief Chayaphol Inthrasupha convened a meeting of officials from immigration, customs, tourist groups, local officials, the TAT and business operators yesterday to prepare everything for the arrival of the ship.

 

The district chief said it was a great economic opportunity for the people of Samui even though it is a relatively short trip.

 

But he said that a lot of tourists of all kinds will be coming in December.

 

Then in January two cruise ships will dock overnight on 1st to 2nd and 10th - 11th of January.

 

There will be many other visits of ships in 2023, he stated.
