Stuck for a few more days on the island

Posted by Full mooner on April 21st, 2010 filed in Safety, Tourist tips, sightseeing, the locals

If you have travelled from the UK to land on this isle I call paradise, or indeed most other places in Northern Europe there is a good chance your flight has been on hold.
I have a met few people in the past few days that ventured out of their five-star resort seeking somewhere cheaper to stay until they can fly home. I have to say that 95 per cent of them were amazed at how friendly the locals have been.
If you are stuck here why not get and about and see some more of the island away from the frozen margarita poolside. Head into the hills and see the wildlife, visit the temples around the island, take in a muay thai boxing match, just don’t volunteer yourself!
Tourism has been down recently and the local Thais and expats will appreciate the faces popping in to say “hi”. Too many people come to Koh Samui and never leave their hotels. Their image is often tainted by large exaggerations of how bad it outside the walls of their hotel. don’t be afraid we are a very friendly bunch of characters.
