Every airline can fly to Samui Airport, but as it was built without government support, the users must pay the costs. What would Samui have been as business without the private initiative, when there was no government support..?

The infrastructure on Samui is more important, it cannot take a huge number of more visitors, nor can the roads take more the cars.

Yes, Jysk, IKEA and Lazada (rare, but I bought two from there)...

I had no problem getting Thais moved into the Blue House Book belonging to my house, but the so-called registered "house master" need to do it, which in my case is me. I've moved both my girlfriend and two minor nieces – so they could be eligible for public school in the area where I live – no hassle at all, later the house master of the previous house book-registration will get a notice to come with the house book to the tessa ban-office and have the moved name(s) deleted...????

Bentley driver avoids jail - he's not over the limit, under 20 mg

The blood test might have be taken late enough to get rid of anything over the limit... -
Makes sense. Yes, my architect mentioned a number little more than one meter – so 42" – when we two days ago were talking about renewing my own 2nd floor balcony railing in my private house, which I originally had made as 80 centimeters (32"), 13 years ago. I had however designed my 3rd floor railing made as meter (40").

What area should I live for a month?
khunPer replied to DrHoneydew's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Good, I have the cheapest available for around 600 baht per month, which is 1Gbit/200Mbit fiber... -
The list from October this year that includes the non-OA insurance... I didn't use the appointment system, I'm not sure if it works or not – you'll probably just be seated with a queue-number like everybody else, and asked to wait while they check your documents, until you get a new number and a date to return to pick up your passport. If your papers are in order, it's not that bad...????

What area should I live for a month?
khunPer replied to DrHoneydew's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
The short answer is no. A better location for snorkeling is Koh Phangan or Koh Tao, but newer condo – or condo at all – might not be available; however you could find some interesting snorkeling spot on the southern part of Samui, which are not close to what you asks for, but there might be a 7-Eleven shop within healthy walking distance. A condo is not easily found as we mainly stay in bungalows by the beach or nearby a beach on Samui and her sister islands; however, nice bungalows are easily found within walking distance to a good beach, smaller supermarket like Mini BigC or Lotus's Go Fresh, and a gym. For snorkeling among corals and tropical fish you might need a trip by speed boat to an optimal location in a remote bay; "The Japanese Garden" by Koh Nangyuan is for example a perfect spot. Beach suggestions: Crystal Bay in healthy walking distance from Lamai – some snorkeling might be of interest there – or Maenam Beach, where you shall not expect exciting snorkeling. Perhaps some other forum-members that are local snorkeling-experts have more precise information about best spots around Samui...???? -
One week before, no x-ray, just a small heath check. I normally use Thai International Hospital opposite Lotus's in Bo Phut (Chaweng). I use to obtain the health certificate a few days before. Last time for me was October, and the price was still 250 baht; took about 15 minutes from walk-in to pay and walk-out...???? Edit: The is a still valid list of needed documentation a bit back in the thread...

Vat in Thailand is 7 percent and there is a minimum amount you totally should have bought for – I think to remember that it's 5,000 baht – to be eligible for a vat-refund.

Transport from/to the islands Phangan, Tao and Samui
khunPer replied to khunPer's topic in Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao
Richard Barrow says at 6:15 pm: All boats, including ferries between the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, have been told to stay ashore until at least 20th December due to rough seas. Four ships have sunk and one container ship has run aground so far. HTMS Sukhothai also sank last night. Stay safe if you’re down south.
