For this video I used a new video and audio setup. I encountered problems mainly with sound but also with video quality. Sorry about that.
After the second wave of Covid that hit Thailand in early January 2021, travel between provinces, especially when you came from Bangkok, was discouraged or even banned between January and February.
In March, I decided to try my luck to the island of Koh Samui.
I had several flights, bought in December when Bangkok Air offered flights at discounted prices to revive domestic flights.
For my flight to Koh Samui, Bangkok air agreed to shift the initial date (early February), but only once. I chose early March, which seemed reasonable to me.
This was my first visit to the island of Koh Samui. This island has the advantage of having an airport, which allows a trip from my apartment to a hotel in about 2h30.
I had booked as few things as possible given the uncertainty. In fact only the first 2 nights in a hotel that allowed me to cancel until 6pm the same day.
I managed to enter the island, an island that unsurprisingly was deserted.
Almost all of Chaweng road, which runs along the eponymous beach, was devastated. Shops closed and very often emptied. It was a vision worthy of a postapocalyptic film, with me in the role of the survivor 🙂
I speak very quickly about the 2 hotels I frequented during this week, the situation was very atypical and therefore difficult to make a fair judgment on these hotels.
OZO Resort
Beach: Chaweng beach
I was the only guest of a hotel with a hundred rooms.
A modern resort by the beach, nice but without much charm.
Chaweng Garden Beach Resort
Beach: Chaweng beach
We were 2 customers in all.
At the edge of the beach, but with the residential part surrounded by trees, which gave it a certain charm.
Ciao!
