KOH SAMUI POST-PANDEMIC
The Pandemic and the ensuing Emergency Decree in Thailand have caused immeasurable economic impact across the country. Probably no sectors have been harder hit than hospitality, entertainment and nightlife.
Once referred to as 'The Jewel of the Gulf of Thaiand', Koh Samui post-pandemic is a reminiscence of a bygone era.
Koh Samui has 0 coronavirus casualties and to date remains COVID free.
One could argue Koh Samui is a casualty of the coronavirus pandemic.
Below; Koh Samui as you've never seen it before ...

Has the pandemic marked an end of an era even for long established nightclubs like the Green Mango?
Remains to be seen if we'll ever see the Hooters girls serve cold beer and chicken wings again.
Regae street a small soi with beer bars, you won't see girls in miniskirts and high heels or hear bells ringing at the moment.
