rooster59 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 Video: Samui flooding brings misery - but not to these two farang tourists Image: Sanook KOH SAMUI:-- Two western tourists enjoyed themselves in the flooded streets of Koh Samui yesterday. They floated down a flooded stretch of the island's ring road on rubber rings much to the amusement of passing motorists who honked their horns in greeting. It all looked like great fun but many Thai netizens thought the tourists must be barking mad. Many who shared the story said they were taking their lives into their hands behaving like this and commented that the water must be filthy too. The video showed the pair floating down a flooded one kilometer stretch of the Thaweerat Phakdee Road near the Bandara Hotel in Boh Phut.

Borzandy Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 They are not farangs but real tourists and don't care about the clear water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobobo Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 These two guys (from the Indian sub-continent I'd say) don't care about filthy water - at home they drink it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alex8912 Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 If a Thai says the water is filthy I would listen. I'm always up for fun but this is insane. Worse than a klong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfieconn Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Haa all the do gooders on here, if they want to enjoy themselves but take in a bit of dirty water that's up to them, all the dirty water will run into the sea eventually anyway and no doubt people will be swimming in it pretty soon albeit just a bit diluted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

douglasspade Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 This happened to me about two years ago when I arrived in Patong when a flash flood came down. Mass amount of rain coming down in a short period of time, all the sewers clogged up. I was hiking with my full backpack to my room through mid city. Foreign holiday makers come to Thailand to have fun. If its drinking, shagging, adventuring or splashing in the rat shit infested waters, its OK!
