Tourists complain about Koh Samui scenic viewpoint

 

 

Thai TV Channel 7 featured a scenic viewpoint on Koh Samui that is in a dangerous state of repair. 

 

The area in question is the Lad Koh viewpoint that is popular with tourists between Chaweng and Lamai beaches. 

 

There are hanging wires all over the place, broken switches and bits of duct tape holding it all together. 

 

 

Thai tourists said that it was dangerous.

 

In addition the whole area is in a shocking state of disrepair with plants growing over railings and broken pieces. 

 

The authorities have been called on to act.

This is everywhere all over Thailand, especially with electric switch boxes left open at kids height, hand rails loose, missing, I thought the complaint was going to be its not scenic enough.

I did not realise that it was supposed to be a tourist attraction. I thought that it was just a snack stop.

I have driven past there a few times this year and there has been no one there.

A few years ago, the staff were on their annual 'day trip' to take them to Samui's tourist places (where the locals never go). All they did at this place was to buy snacks and ice creams.

Well if they can not repair it,   got a litre of gas and a match.

  Happy New Year,    Hey....2021 has to be be a bit better at least.

Geezer

Surely this is what attracts the high end, big spending tourists, fifty rich tourists........who wants a pristine environment and crystal clear waters when you can have this?
