The illegal walkway as it is now.
Clearly you can see the anchor in the sand, which is clearly not allowed.
Hopefully, but unlikely, the owners will see the folly and take that whole mess away.
Or maybe just leave it; this is Samui, who really gives a crap?

SOMETHING YOU ARE ALL MISSING:-----------
Have any of you ever heard of this place in the photo.
Well there are 2 of those piers there, one owned privately and the other owned by, by, by, ..... yes yes you guessed it.

So you have no hope what so ever in even getting a response from any marine or habour dept on removing this pier.

Its Thailand is it not? so forget it....... your waisting your time.........

Seems my photo did not load

@Sabre
  fumes from a tank may flame up . Why do you think you don't smoke at a gas station ?
There was this farmer where I lived, used to check his diesel tractor tank with a match, once he did same with his non-diesel car, only once .
""   Have you ever tried lighting petrol with a lit cigarette? You can throw a lit cigarette in a bucket of petrol, and all it will do is extinguish the cigarette. I guess temperature will be an important factor, but It's not like the movies"" :ph34r:


Its not the smoldering cigarette that blows up your tank, its the flame on the cigarette lighter or matches that lights the cigarette and then the petrol fumes that blows you to hel_l. In some countrys petrol boats are banned for commercial use  just for this reason. youll have a dam hard time trying to lighte diesel. So once youve has used your matches or lighter and your still alive, its probably just luck that you are alive.

Boat drivers on Samui on the whole are alot better than what they were 5 to 7 years ago, Petcherate Boats have some good drivers, some not so, but they adhere to the rules of life jackets and people being seated, it is also sometimes hard to control a drunken happy crowd.  would assume one boat did not have his flashing light on, but who knows. Unfortunate as wind and waves can gust up faily quickly with out too much warning when you cant see the oncoming storm at night, they usualy pass in minutes these storms, but at night you can drive right into them sometimes.
