Genix Posted April 26, 2021 Share Posted April 26, 2021 (edited) What is the best beach city to be in right now? Granted it's "open" (not red zone) and you do covid tests. I understand most are dead even without restrictions - not expecting much plus it lowers the chance of covid anyways.

Jeffr2 Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Samui has 14 day quarantine if coming from red zone. Samet, Chang, Kood, Larn, are all closed. Chang might be OK if you do a test. But I've heard that may be changing soon...same with Phuket. Weather is turning bad on Lanta and even Phuket is going to start to get bad. Better weather over on the Gulf side. We were in Samui and Phuket not long ago. Both are ghost towns. Especially the main areas (Chewang, Lamai, Patong, Kata/Karon, etc). Tough time to travel as things are changing quickly. Unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzzz Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Note Patong, Karon, Kata are ghosts towns, not so the rest of the island, Its wonderful to be stuck here with no tourist, no traffic, as i dont drink, could care less if bars open or not. Ko Chang is NOT closed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you stay away from the major dedicated tourists areas like Chaweng and Lami on Samui, it's relative normal; i.e. "relative" means that much is open in accordance with whatever local Covid-restrictions, and there are still both locals and expats, and some other foreigners, so it's not that dead. And the sea breeze is nice and healthy fresh...???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the sea breeze is nice and healthy fresh...???? We were there for about a month. Went all over the island. Yes, locals are still there. But compared to 2020. The island is dead. A vast majority of the shops are closed. Restaurants are closed. Sorry, but like a ghost town. But especially so in Chaweng and Lamai. We stayed at Bophut and other than the weekends, it was dead. Maenam was dead. Etc, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had planned to go there when I went to renew my ME Non O, but the pandemic meant an extension instead. Maybe next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antiparovian Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Concrete and Steel as a backdrop to a beach. Yuk. Definitely not my cup of tea. Each to their own, beauty is in the eye of the beerholder etc...I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
