Just back in UK after 3.5 weeks based in Lamai. I've been going to Samui twice a year since 2005 and I would say it's the quietest I've seen it. The Outback Bar and Fusion were dead on quite a few nights. Considering Supersub is now gone, Fusion should be full every night.
So you were here in low season, the quietest time of the year and it was quiet, amazing
so i am azuming that you are asuming that everyone that comes to samui heads stragiht down the local clubs and the families and the 5 star hotels an people who rent villas that are fully booked cannot be in samui because the clubs are not full.
could it be that there is more to offer tourists hear now than getting out yr nut at the local clubs and bars.
Maybe the back backers that mostly occupy these places have moved on and now we have have respectable hard core mafia hear now and we kiow how 2 run tings. rpctect!
You "azume" wrong.
Would expect that a fair number of visitors to Chaweng or Lamai, whatever their purpose, do go out in the evening to a bar, to the night markets or to a restaurant. And my impression is that numbers were down. A personal observation.
As mentioned in my OP, I am not a backpacker and was staying with other friends in midrange resorts.
Have been visiting all areas of this island twice each year since 2005 so unless the patterns of tourism has changed totally, then I reckon there must be some validity to my observations.
