Never seen a thread on this subject before so I'll kick it off.

These are the various tradesmen that I've used over the last 7 years that I've found honest, competitive and reliable.

Aircon repairs - 089 726 7688. Never did know this Thai guys name but perfect English and very quick to respond

Boncafe - Just past Big Buddha traffic lights on the Ring Road. Extremely helpful staff, very polite.

Car repairs/service- Dan Auto's in Maenam. English speaking owner and staff ensures good communication.

Coconut cropping - 087 269 8443. Again not a clue what the guy's name is but boy, he's fast and tidy.

House cleaning- Maids in Samui (I think) anyway Khun Oil 086 219 7897. If you need a really good clean through Oil and her girls are great.

Motorcycle repairs/service - Ohm motorcycles on the ring road opposite the bottom Chaweng Beach Road turning. This guy and his staff really know their stuff, especially with the big bikes.

Pest Control 077 247784. Got rats in the roof, bees nest in your hedges? These are the guys

Solicitors- Blumenthal, Richter and Sumet at the Natien Centre in Chaweng. Inspire great confidence, really know what they are doing. As the name suggests they are a Ferrang Company.

UBC/TV/DVD reception problems - Khun Jierp 081 797 0564 - Thai guy who'll call out at a minutes notice. From the simplest problem to the largest installation this guy is good. Limited English so you'll need an interpreter.

Website construction - Kim Carter at Carsena. Next to the IT complex in Chaweng. Good imput and very helpful. Ferrang owned so communication no problem.

Maybe you have some more to add?

Just used the guy The Vulcan recommended for coconut trees. He took down one between buildings for me that I could not find anyone else to do.

He was punctual, fast and tidy, four guys, two pickups in and out 1.5 hours. Excellent.

His name is Mai, Tel 0872698443 (you may need a Thai friend to help speak to him, but worth it).

Across street from Thai International hospital.

Bring your old for refill, took 5 minutes. :)

On Koh Samui I highly recommend Blue Chip Samui for all internet solutions.

I have used (and still do) them for my wireless internet - awesome download speed and always up. The owner Matt gives great customer service as well.

Thanks alot, very helpfull.............. I would like to ask if anyone knows about a foreign painter on Samui...I was told there is a British guy somewhere who is very good without paint marks all over the tiles :o

Also if you could add some really good babysitters......to "normal" prices (IN THAILAND)......someone you could trust in your own house....

I do know a woman in Billabong bar can do the job at her house, if you ask in advice....however she can't speak English....... :D

For TV & Stereo, wiring, HDMI cable & splitter, Cable set up, Dreambox,, Astro or True satellite set up, video systems, etc.

I can recommend this guy....

He'll help you purchase major equipment like TV or Stereo system to suite your needs & budget....(higher end systems)

He's a bit difficult to understand on the phone, but face to face .... he does get it! & goes out of his way to get it right)... plus usually can find cables & connectors etc that might usually be hard to find.

He's done some great work for me & I now at least one other TV user.... Works out of his home, which is near Tesco Chawang.... but seems to have work around the island. Rates are reasonable. What he can't do he's always found the right person to do it.

Name is Rin Phone is 086 522 7802 (call after 11 am! ) If you have problems connecting with him PM me.

Can anyone please advise a good reputable Cable / Satellite person who covers Phangan. Got serious reception issues. The Thai guy who I work with tries in vain to fix it himself but to no avail. Any help, please call me on 0854 762 475 or pm me. Thanks.

Anyone know of a company that can do rain guttering please.

Not sure if you want guttering repairs or new gutters.

My neighbour had new gutters after the March storms last year and used a guy in Choengmon. The guy did a very good job.

Unfortunately my neighbout is on holiday at the moment and cannot get to the phone number. I have sent a PM with directions.

Air Con / Plumbing

Changjai (Thai speaks English) 0895889416 This guy is really good, nothing is a problem for him

Would not recommend this guy. Came to the house and told my misses she can fix it herself and left. With both toilets out of action. Dick!

Thai's often seem to pass on the small jobs thinking the don't pay enough money or they claim to be too busy when their shop is empty, but for me they'll never get a large job unless they can have the right attitude and approach on a small one first.. Been running into this a lot lately..Seems no one wants our money, their loss, eat today starve tomorrow..

I'll simply remove him.If anyone comes across this or they no longer exist please let me know.
