Public urged to use water sparingly on Koh Samui, as authorities say they don’t want it 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.
