Public urged to use water sparingly on Koh Samui, as authorities say they don’t want it to become ‘a disaster zone’
Authorities on Koh Samui have promised to tackle a water shortage that has left taps running dry often for months, saying they will not allow the Thai island to become a “disaster zone”.
A lack of rain and a resurgence in tourism has put intense pressure on supplies, prompting Sutham Samthong, a deputy mayor of Koh Samui, to urge the public to use supplies sparingly.
