I discovered a beach on the weekend that I had not seen before, I reckon one of the nicest small beaches in SW side of Samui... I've seen...

It located in front of Centara  Samui Villas,...

But the is a dirt track non guests can access...  It's a bit confusing as sign for the track  says "Private" but also sign for "Cool Bar" ... 

 

We were not kicked out! 

I haven't seen that one before, will check it out, thanks Jim

Sunset On Koh Phangan

Koh Samui still has some beautiful spots, you need to know where to look

Chaweng Noi, Koh Samui

Chaweng Beach (South) Koh Samui

I find this really odd... all the places shut down the music at 2am sharp yet there is one "club" in Lamai that cannot be named that goes on full blast in the middle of the main stream till 4(?)am. How is this possible?

Do you mean this "Club" ?

Ohh - was this Fusion?

Hope not!

Yes, Fusion is gone, it is now a Morya Pharmacy

Looks like it is behind Tesco, very big

The Rotary Charity Sailing Regatta is taking place on the 15th of May in Koh Samui , Thailand.

The event is being held to raise funds for a number of local charitable causes including The Koh Samui Special Needs School , Local Schools IT Project and the Koh Samui Sailing School.

This year we are having a catamaran race off the beach in Chaweng as well as hosting some amazing professional racing yachts. The island's yachting community will also be out in force.

We are hosting an evening event at the OZO Hotel on Chaweng Beach , the new sister hotel of the Amari Palm Reef Hotel. There is a fantastic BBQ and live Jazz being provided alongside a presentation and raffle.

Tickets are available by contacting us here on facebook or via the below emails

So who is Philthebook and where and what is the Koh Samui Sailing School ? more info required.

So no reply or explanation of who this organising group is and what is their link to sailing. At yesterday's gathering at OZO, all of the island's sailors who have been active for the past 15 years here had no idea who they were either. Sailors be careful, VERY careful.

I just copied the post from Facebbok, I believe it was The Rotary Club that organised it, have a look at the Facebook link (I am simply the messenger, thought people would like to know that the event was on)

Raja do a mini bus hotel drop off from around 10am? about 150 baht? You can book it at Donsak

I came in on the 1st ferry of the morning arriving at 6.30am and no mini bus available at that time, managed to get a motorbike taxi to take me to the main road for 50baht and then got a Songthaw to Chaweng for 100 baht

Useful info, my Thai license expired and haven't got round to renewing it but I also have a PI license (and uk), I only ride on Samui and have never been asked to produce my license in 10 years of being here (I always were helmet so never get stopped).

Google streetview for Samui is online now.

I have Google searched to find this a couple of times now, and not having any luck.....

Do you have a actual link PS? !!!!

Try this link Jimmy, move the little man on the map to change locations, it's great

Jungle Club between Lamai and Chaweng, great views over Chaweng, very steep road to get there

Samui Camp Reggae Bar in Lamai (opens at 4pm, closed Saturdays), great views over Lamai but another steep road to get there

Silver Beach/Crystal Bay between Lamai and Chaweng - Best beach on the Island

Take a ride around the very south of the Island, 4170 road, lots of great sea food restaurants on the beach, quite good roads, not many tourists (Ban Kao, Thong Krut area), there are also a few nice Temples and Chedi in this area
