Samui Coconut

What about the 2004 heavy hit area of Khao Lak?

VERY heavy!

Told you there is a hitch......(but did not think of that one) !

I checked it, maximum stay 5 days.

That's the second hitch.....

Told you there is a hitch......(but did not think of that one) !

Probably only on selected flights, on selected dates with limited number of seats, at inhumane times, ATR's only and book 3 month in advance......

Tong Nai Pan Noi and Yai are also great beaches, shallow water, many resorts to chose from and ample restaurants etc.

Now for some, cost is completely irrelevant. If you can afford to stay at the Banyon Tree Samui (cheapest rooms are about 40,000 baht a night),

you can get some deals for 31,000 THB ... but the whole hotel is FULLY BOOKED for April, and not many rooms left for May !, plus they charge around 350 THB plus tax and service charge for a Beer, and 500 THB for Fried Rice..

But the beer is cold & the rice is yummy.

Their present net rate is only 12-14,000......not that bad....and May have plenty of rooms left. Just book

Ask yourself why is that bar for sale in the first place.

Today is what please?

There was a shop in Lamai, not sure if still there. Otherwise post items in classified section, best with picture and price.Good Luck.

I am interested in this sailing trip. How can I contact you about this?

Just PM OP directly.

Is it the shop between Lamai & Hua Thanon?

Just google: water edge sports Samui

Nice toys for boys with big wallets.

What kind of work?

Well, it probably does not matter that much what work it will be, if its a full time job, the chances of finding someone permanently are rather slim.

Try Burmese instead.....(unless its an office job). Good luck.....

Who could afford such a beast?

thai land owners ? .... 100,000 Euro isnt alot to most thais !.

They have an office in Samui now, did not know the price though (4 Mio Baht sounds awfully expensive), they also have jet skis, underwater blade thinges etc.....a bit 007 like

this post made me laugh .... how long have you been in Thailand ???

Long enough to write a piece of satire on it. Very funny.

My humble advise, fix it yourself and move on.....if its a major thing and it gets too expensive, move out.....

Can you give us any details of your boat?

Just google Catana 50

Pitty I have no degree, though....

Best bet is at the duty free store at the Samui Airport......

PG will stay at Suvarnabhumi 100%

Some billboards around Thong Sala:

They say something like " Thank you Mr. Phum (I think a big authority in KPG) to support Kan Air to arrive in KPG."

And something like the works are in progress already.

So maybe the too big road Bantai-Thong Nai Pan with the huge roundabout after Than SAdet now has a better sense.

Thank you for picking this up Mr. Anguid !

Holy moley... . I've not been to Pai for a few years now, I don't think they had these fandagled flying machines then... but is 1490 baht from CM! I remember paying 60 baht on the public bus, a nice 3 hour drive if I remember....

So wonder what they will charge to TNP ...and from where???? .... and then the taxi to other parts of KP... ?

Cessna would make sense on a small runway...

From the picture....... Obviously an artists rendering of the run way, mountains far away! and very large grassy area on each side...

I am pretty certain from the party I know, who's involved with this project, it is private funded and not Government ... but one assumes there will be some Government regulations they would need to follow?

now back to that coffee!

Actually, the Chiang Mai - Pai ride is not too bad, have used it twice. No price guideline yet for Phangan, and their first route will be from Phuket.

The only planes that could land on Phanghan are Harrier jump jets

Or the ones which are presently used between Chiang Mai and Pai.

I wonder how well these jets land on steep hills? As far as I am aware there is not any continuous flat area anywhere near TNP for a plane to land.

I did not say anything about jets.....I also mentioned landing strip. I am not living on Phangan, but next time you are around Tansadet waterfall near Kung Bungalow, have a look if you can spot the clearing (or the started clearing) of a 1.5 km long area.

Try Sawang Optical in Chaweng, the only place where I buy my eye wear......not cheap, but professional.

I did report on this several months ago.... although I think Party Girl has been listening to to many bar rumours....about size anyway!

Not anywhere close to 747 jumbos, but for the elite class with small jets, and supposedly somewhere towards Tong Nai Pan... ? That's what I was told by one who is involved with this... to what extent I am really not sure....

I heard recently that the road to Tong Nai Pan is being or has now been concreted... all the way ?? I've not been there except by boat and that was a few years ago now...

Time will tell, whether myth or fact!

Well, keep on haveing fun lads, just remmeber you read it here first !

I have word that the work on a small "airport" (or landing strip) has started.....apparently a sanam bin nam.....any more news ?

For a visa or an extension of stay?

Retirement extension:

800,000 in the bank for 3 months

OR

65,000 a month

OR

a combination of money in the bank and yearly income, totaling 800,000.

Income from abroad must be certified by your embassy.

Absolutely correct ! Should mention min. 50 years of age ?
