Should I Fly?

[luxecat]

Hi All,

I have been closely watching developments within Thailand and Samui, and I have to say I'm a little worried. I am scheduled to fly to Bangkok today. Arriving around midnight on Sept. 3. Then leaving for Samui at 6 am on Bangkok Airways. This thread about yellow gangs after falangs does not make me feel totally comfortable. Now I understand most of the risks involved here, but what can I expect in and around Chaweng? Thanks for any insight. Cheers.

Chill, relax, there's nothing to worry about. Come enjoy your holiday, Samui's the same as it was last time you came, although maybe a little quieter

Seriously if it wasn't for the news channels and TV 99% of farang wouldn't know it was actually happening. Just do it

Personally speaking, I wouldn't worry. You might be delayed in getting to Samui but put it all down to your holiday in 'Amazing Thailand' As for 'gangs going after farang' it is a myth as far as I am concerned. Don't talk about the troubles, don't get involved and you will be fine. I live in BKK, well away from Govt House, and have seen nothing but life as usual.

My wifes sister travelled here by road from a nearby province, and got here fine in record time ! No police checks, nothing out of the ordinary.

Thanks for the replies all. Still coming as planned, barring any unforseen problems at the airport. I can only hope to relax and chill in the quiet of Samui soon. Thanks again.
