High waves on Friday morning, 22nd December 2023, caused a night ferry heading to Koh Tao, to sink in the sea.
All 70 passengers and crews were transported to the shore safely by speedboats.

The 114.93-tonne ferry named ‘T. Sandee Maneethup 111’ had left the pier at Bandon Bay in Surat Thani province at 10pm on Thursday.

It was scheduled to reach Koh Tao, at 6am on Friday 22.
Local officials said the ferry was hit by waves of about 3 metres high, resulting in sea water entering its hull and damaging the water pumps. The vessel stalled in water at around 15 nautical miles (27.78 km) from Koh Tao and was slowly sinking.

After the crew alerted officials, rescue speedboats were dispatched to transport the crew and the mainly foreign tourist passengers to the Koh Tao shore. Fortunately, no injuries or missing persons ...

Samui's airport ✈
For some the most beautiful airport in the world and for others a big problem...
Samui Island’s airport was developed as the country’s first privately owned airport but has faced constant criticism from hoteliers on the island who claimed Bangkok Airways made it difficult for competitors to serve the island.
On September 2, 2018, Thai airways flew for the last time from the Samui's airport.
Since 2008, the airline has flown Bangkok to Samui International Airport, return, twice a day. When THAI began flying the route, the national airline said it would be convenient for travelers flying through Bangkok on Thai Airways to transfer to another Thai Airways flight to the island.
The resulting monopoly for Bangkok Airways means that flights cost up to more than double that of routes of a similar distance around the region.
At one point the government threatened to build a second airport on the island but land appropriation costs were too high. However, the tactic did result in THAI gaining landing rights for two flights per day.
The private airport on Koh Samui was built by Bangkok Airways in 1989 and has been managed by that airline ever since.
