How typhoon Doksuri was ignored


Us adding more sandbags to neutralize the impact of the
strong current of water to the resort's concrete walkway.
 Who cares about typhoon Doksuri? Try asking our Vietnamese guests in the resort and they will probably say, “rain or shine, typhoon or not we have activities to follow.”  

While my team and I were running all over preparing for the impact of the typhoon, our Vietnamese guests tried swimming in the beach.  Funny how people think sometimes, they knew the current was strong and they still don’t care.   They don’t have idea how worried we were for them.  The security had to chase them away from the beach. 

Our  Vietnamese guests whom if not being watched will
sneak in to the beach and swim.  
Just to let them enjoy their holiday without causing us problem, we cordoned them around the swimming pool area. And we had to have security on standby because if you don’t watch them they will run to the beach and swim, like a herd of kids.

Put it this way, if our western guests were hiding in the room, our Vietnamese guests were everywhere, letting us chase them away from danger. They don’t care how strong the current was or how the wind can swept them away to the ocean.

That's how strong the current was.
At night, while it was raining they just put on a raincoat and hang around the swimming pool for the party.   They just ignored typhoon Doksuri.  Some of our western guests commented they can’t believe how tough the Vietnamese face the situation that No typhoon, rain or wind can stop their activities.

And because they are inhouse guests we cannot do anything but ignored typhoon Doksuri too. We have to watch them while taking care of the property.  It was a long day for us working in the hotel. I feel sorry for my team but it’s our duty to ensure safety of our guests. 

Our guests don't have a clue how happy they made us when they already went to their room.

 For hotelier like us, it’s an achievement to be able to put the guest safely in their room in rough time like this.
