According to Thai media news, on April 11, Ms. Salinger Yuk, chairman of the Samet Tourism Association in Rayong Province, Thailand, announced the room booking situation of Koh Samet during Songkran in 2024, saying that during April 12-15, 2024, the booking rate of local hotels and resorts has exceeded 90%.
She said she hopes that tourists planning to visit Koh Samet will book hotels in advance to avoid the situation of not having a room to stay. At the same time, it is hoped that the majority of tourists who book hotels through the homepage and webpage will carefully confirm the authenticity of the homepage and website before booking, so as to prevent being deceived and affecting the travel mood.
According to Mr. Yoon Katakchai, Deputy Governor of Rayong Province, the relevant departments have been urged to take care of the tourists participating in the Songkran activities, arrange special personnel to be responsible for maintaining the safety of tourists, and conduct rescue training for drowning tourists for relevant personnel. At the same time, passenger ship operators are also urged to strictly follow safety measures, equip tourists with adequate life jackets, and play a good role as hosts, providing convenience and maintaining the safety of tourists from Thailand and abroad.
In addition, it is hoped that the public and tourists will help maintain the environmental hygiene of the island and bring the garbage back to the shore.
