Some roads have been cut off. Samui airport suspended service Thursday morning due to heavy rain, and more than 1,000 travellers have been left stranded. Meanwhile, ferry services to Samui island still operate as usual but the number of cars being carried has dropped by half due to the bad weather conditions, according to an official at the waterfront. --TNA 2007-11-08 Quote
