SURAT THANI: Another cruise ship with more than 1,900 passengers arrived at Koh Samui for a one-day visit on Saturday, as a local tourism business leader predicted 4 billion baht in tourist spending over the New Year holiday.

Mein Schiff 5 was the third cruise ship to visit the resort island in Surat Thani province since Nov 27, after a three-year absence of calls by big liners because of the Covid-19 pandemic. The 1,900 European tourists were expected to spend about 4 million baht during their brief stop on the island.
