Tropicalevo Posted January 18, 2024 Posted January 18, 2024 I wonder how the tourists are counted. Flights only? As far as I know, the ferry companies do not separate tourists from locals from deliveries. Does anyone out there know? 1

But the Tessabaan have teams of street cleaners that go around tidying the streets regularly. Where they do not clean, we have local community groups/hotels that do it as well as clearing the beaches. We had a private street clean last week and beach cleans the week before. Obviously, with tides, the beaches are a never ending job. Pretty bad after a storm. We work with a group called 'Trash Heroes'. https://trashhero.org/network/trash-hero-koh-samui/ 1

The pandemic is now over, and so I missed out on the ONLY time I would have gone, if I had had any yen for a visit there.
