Koh Samui - Final Morning

Over night the rain pelted down and it seemed maybe there would be another nahm tuam น้ำท่วม (flood) in Samui. We needed to get provisions for our trip back to Bangkok, so once the rain subsided a bit we dared to risk getting stuck in a storm. At least we had our trusty umbrellas!

It wasn’t too long before it started to bucket down again. We stopped for some respite but we didn’t have much time to spare before we had to check out and head to the airport. We then got a message to say that our flight has been delayed by an hour. Others at the resort had their flights delayed until the late afternoon when they were meant to be travelling earlier than us.

We ordered a Bolt taxi and waited for it to arrive. The time was starting to tick by and then when we got into the taxi it took fifteen minutes to get to the end of the street. Panic started to set in a bit, thinking that we may miss our flight. Due to the weather, all flights were delayed and the airport seemed chaotic. Somehow we were able to skip the queue and drop off our bags and get to the gate, only to be advised that boarding had been delayed until our flight time. We’ll eventually get to our next destination.
