A cruise liner embarked from Chon Buri with 1,800 tourists on board and made its way to Cambodia and Vietnam, before finally arriving on the picturesque shores of Koh Samui.

 

Witchawut Jintoe, the governor of Surat Thani, informed The Phuket Express that this week the COSTA SERENA cruise liner docked at the Na Thon Pier, bringing Thai and Asian tourists for a one-day trip. The governor said…

 

“They departed from the Laem Chabang Pier in Si Racha and then headed to Cambodia, then to Phu Quoc Island in Vietnam, and finally to Koh Samui.”

 

Once on Koh Samui, the tourists had the opportunity to explore various attractions. These included nature trails and temples. Tourists also swam in the sea, tried seafood and street food, and experienced the local way of life, Governor Witchawut said…

 

Governor Witchawut highlighted that since November of the previous year until now, Koh Samui has welcomed the arrival of at least 32 cruise liners. These visits contribute to the island’s tourism industry and provide an opportunity for visitors to discover the unique charm of this tropical paradise.

Great! Did they have more than 20 minutes time for that?

 

I have to admit I find it difficult to understand the mindset to people on those ships. At the end of the trip, what can they say? I bought souvenirs in 10 different countries, and all were made in China. 

How much local flavor can anybody experience on a day trip?
