This thread appears to be more geared to 'living' than 'holiday' accommodation but I'll try my luck. Looking for a villa on samui with 5-6 bedrooms suitable for four couples and four children 0-3 yo for a 1-2 week stay aroung June.

Most websites I can find appear to be at the luxury end of the market but we're looking for something a bit more economical for a family get together.

Does anyone have any updates/predictions on Suvarnabhumi today?

We're due to fly in and out (from Ubon and then onwards to Australia) on Sunday 30th October and feel the information flow may be similar to our experience at DM yesterday:

We were on an 11am flight from DM yesterday, all was OK at the airport, no indication of imminant flooding, I checked out the runways from the end of the terminal pier while waiting to board and the drainage ditches appeared to be about 1-1.5m below runway level. We arrive in Ubon to announcements that return flights to DM are cancelled due to the floods! All this change in the space of 2 hours.

We'll hopefully get a refund on our Nok Air flight back to DM, which we booked months ago, good job we booked a second 'contingency flight' with Air Asia also once we arrived in BKK last weekend incase DM closed. However, even with this flight into Suvarnabhumi we may still be stuck if she too closes. No I know that flooding may be a bit unpredictable but I would have thought that some forecasts of closure could have been made for DM. We were lucky to just get out in time. I'm concerned that we're going to hear that 'everything is alright' up until the point of Suvarnabhumi closure which will make planning to get back to Australia very difficult.
