# Looks like Samoa is going the way of Thailand... Bloody sad... Country forums / Pacific Islands & Papua New Guinea
bing2bong 03:16 UTC 14 Feb 2013 | New posh resort to open "inspired" by the American tv series "Survivor" Say goodbye to the "Fa'a Samoa" Can't believe the village of Falalatai sold out.. Shame.

wksamoa 08:30 UTC 16 Feb 2013 | So far it only exists as a website ... And we have seen many of that kind before ;-) So why that noise about it? Samoa is certainly not going the way of Thailand and the Faa Samoa has already survived a lot more. Including the Survivor series which nobody here in Samoa took any notice of. All this is hot air only. Bing2bong, have you ever been in Samoa? | 2
Laszlo 11:57 UTC 17 Feb 2013 | Among other obstacles, Samoa, and indeed the rest of the South Pacific, is simply too far from Europe to "go the way of Thailand" (or that of Hawaii). | 3
