Tonight! Tonight!
9 PM! 9 PM!
The best Muay Thai! The best Muay Thai!
Super fight! Super fight!
Champion of champions! Champion of champions!
Chaweng stadium! Chaweng stadium!
Get your seats earlier! Get your seats earlier!
We're still (Sunday) in Koh Samui. Our afternoon flight to Bangkok was indeed cancelled--the Bangkok airport is now officially closed through December 1--and so now our plans must change. The prospect of more widespread civil unrest is looming and is being openly discussed on BBC and other places. So we're looking into options for leaving. These of course are limited on this small island and with thousands of others similarly trying to leave. But we'll get out in due course. It's a sad prospect for us: we really like what we have seen of Thailand and the Thai people. And we'll also miss Angor Wat.
On Koh Samui you'd never know what's happening on the mainland. For us, yesterday was more sun, walks on the beach and along Main Street, and a really nice dinner and traditional Thai dance program at Poppies' (http://www.poppiessamui.com/uk/uk-samui-home.html) next door...shrimp cakes with plum sauce, spicy prawn soup with mushroom and lime leaf, stir-fried morning glory, fried chicken with ginger, roast duck curry, ice cream and banana fritters. Oh yes, and not to forget the pina colada and "Get Your Seats Earlier."

Koh Samui Island is a great place to be stuck-too bad you may miss Anghor Wat-Maybe you can get out via one of the singapore based carriers that may still fly to the island-so far the powers in Thailand have shown a lot of restraint with the demonstrators-
