Goodness me. Last time we had one in Nathon was like the land of the living dead, all tottering around on their zimmer frames. Think a great business would be renting out mobility scooters for a day at the pier! Still Max Murphy's will be happy always do well when ship in town.

You will be old one day, let's hope folks show you more respect.

Yep, we ALL get Old, unless of course you stop breathing, in which case you may save the cost of a zimmer-frame.

We (that is my wife, my daughter and I) all love cruising so do we know if there are any packages being offered on any of these ships for people wanting to sail from Thailand and presumably fly home again?

Google "cruise ships visiting Koh Samui 2014" and that will give you various sites with ships and destinations.

Not one but two cruise ships in Nathon, today... they are off schedule!... A surprise visit!

AIDAaura was supposed to be here yesterday! 10 Dec I can't tell which is what.... though~!

[Tropicalevo]

We didn't need the photos to know this one jimmy - I have just passed 26 trucks of 'Jungle Safari'.

Nice of you to keep us updated though.

Jusdging by the total lack of mb skills that I have seen today - I supect that some of the 'cruisers' are getting rid of their sea legs by renting mb's. OMFG - it is mayhem out there.

Sorry Big C moment there.

There was this massive traffic jam between Maenam & Bophut today about lunch time.

[angiud]

Nathon pier today was jammed with minibus, taxis and safari pickups.

I think you are looking at the 2014 schedule. Both AIDAaura (on the left) and Volendam (on the right) are here as scheduled.

OMG yes! ... Wrong year ! duh on me!

These people who come off these ships are usually given guided tours by a Phuket Company who come to guide these people around & go to higher end resorts and places that they don't have to mix with the local riff raff! ...and not let loose into the general population!

Having said that Nathon was a buzz with tourists walking around the main street, today! ,,,, Maybe the second class passengers!

If my memory serves me correctly it is called "Insight" (not 100% on that, I'll need to go through some photos to find...( I just know some of the guides ... ).

They work in association, with Samui Ships and Trips, located in Nathon. Hope that helps for now!

I could see only 3 ships this morning.

Left is AIDAaura

Middle is Europa 2

Right is Volendam

No signs of Silver Shadow though.

Nathon is bustling and the road to grandpa rock is packed with vans and cars are continuously going in and leaving the waterfalls.

Seems to be feast or famine! Why don't they talk to each other and 'spread th luvvv'?

[Tropicalevo]

Diamond Princess was arriving at Nathond OK just before 6 am.

Looked big with all of the lights on (watching from Plai Laem)

MS The World & AIDAura in Samui on December 10th.

[Birdman]

AIDAsol

The World btw is a private residential cruise ship serving as a residential community owned by its residents. The residents, from about 19 different countries, live on board as the ship travels the earth—staying in most ports approximately three days. Some people live on board full time while others visit periodically throughout the year.
