I am flying out from phuket airport and need to leave my car there for 3 days.

I am assuming that this won't be a problem, however thought I better check.

Is there free or cheap parking close to the terminal? Any tips?

thanks

Yes, แฃ่บ is a misspelling - the OP's. It should be spelt แซ่บ, with so so, not with kho khuat. The thread where it was discussed before is http://www.thaivisa....&-3656;&-3610;/ .

Oops.

Will have a look at that thread thanks.

Ok so a question thats bugging me.

I saw a sign on a restaurant saying.แฃ่บ . Is this a misspelling? Surely the mai ek is unecessary as it would have the same tone without (falling).

Am I missing something?

I need somone to come out and reformat a computer and do a few other things.

Anyone got a number for somewhere in Lamai?

I just came back from Haad Yao with my one year old. Perfect beach for a toddler. Its easy to get to too - Tong nai Pan takes longer and the road not so good.

We stayed at Long bay resort. Lovely big garden for toddler to run around in, nice simming pool too.

thanks for the info will check it out...

Is it possible to get wholemeal or granary bread flour on Samui?

I have looked in Tesco and Makro and only found white bread flour so far. However stock is really low in both places due to the floods.

Does anyone know of anywhere that sells it? There must be somewhere that sells it as some of the bakeries sell wholemeal bread..

all depends if your charlie sheen or a droopy eyed armless child.

75 in maenam has some

great! thanks for that. i'll check today

Hi there,

Does anyone know if I can buy a panini maker in samui? I need a professional standard one for use in a small restaurant. I don't want one which makes triangular shaped toasties. I need one that you can toast ciabbatas and baguettes in...

Can you buy on samui or does anyone know of a place which will send here from within thailand?

Happy new year

You can buy them in the small department store in Nathon - I think its called Samui Mart. Its near K bank on the main road.

They have loads of baby stuff in there and its good quality.

Coming down very hard now in Maenam.

im gonna go for a look on my bike. will report back.

Thanks a lot, really appreciate it.

Just drove from Maenam to Nathon. Road fine now although still some very large puddles however they are not too deep.

im gonna go for a look on my bike. will report back.

looks like the rain has stopped according to wind guru we shouldn't be getting any heavy downpours for a while.

Hi there,

I know you want a longer Thai name than can be shortened to 'เด่น' but, in my limited experience, Thai given names seem to have absolutely no connection to their nicknames, so you could have whatever name you like and still call him 'เด่น', doesn't have to be a shortened version of his given name. Does it?

good point. think we are going to go just that.

cheers!

I am on chaweng beach every day and I was just commenting to a friend today how great the water looks at this time of year. I think you are talking about an isolated area.

My wife tells me that this name is really really old fashioned! Back to the drawing board then.

Any other suggestions?

็Hi,

Thanks for your reply. I just checked the translation and yes เด่น is much better. Thanks for your suggestion!

Hi,

Can anyone help with this? I am looking for a Thai boys name which could be shortened to Den (เดน) as a nickname.

Most of the Thais I have asked say there isn't any, but as with most things it pays to ask around.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

also .. is there anywhere in Samui that stocks free weights??? (other than the ones in Tesco)

Hi,

I have just moved to the Bophut end of Maenam. Does anyone know of any Gyms in this area? I can only think of Hippo Gym in Maenam and that one opposite Samui Town Centre or whatever its called in Bophut on the ring road.

Are there any others in this area? Maybe one of the resorts has one that they let non guests use?

If anyone knows please let me know.

Cheers,

I have just developed this problem. and like the original poster my problem is with ด not ต. When I first learnt thai I pronounced ต as ด. Now I have the reverse problem. I think its because I worked so hard to learn ต now its stuck.

I am not dutch though my grandma was - maybe its genetic.

OP - careful when talking about the sunshine :-)

Looking back, that might be my problem as well. It took me a while to figure out how to take the 's' off of words like stick, stem, stupid.....but once I did, I never heard complaints about my ต.

Thats definately my problem. Although it seems stupid as ด is basically the same as a 'D'

I mostly use Nok air or Air Asia flying from Samui to BKK. Its a bit of a pain but its worth the bus and boat to save the cash. My last Nok air flight was over 3 hours which I wasn't happy with. TO be fair though they did call me in person to tell me the flight was going to be delayed which was a nice touch.
