7% growth sounds very good for the hotels/resorts.I would like to see the growth rate of people coming to live here.going by the congestion of the ring round i would think double figures easy.

Shame the way Samui has gone with all the Traffic and development. I remember it 17 years ago when it was a true paradise. Although Tesco was a welcome addition to wading through mud at Leam Din Market. Pretty much same in other resorts and I suspect increases are Asian an Russian visitors, certainly the case in in other resorts.
