I nearly did then read the information on their billboard and it says that the fish eat your dead and diseased skin. Then i just didnt fancy sitting with my feet in the same water as everybody elses dead and diseased feet!

Their prices are not fixed nationwide. My wife recently gave birth in Bangkok Samui whilst most of the appointments leading up to it were in Bangkok Phuket. Everything from check ups, ultrasounds and the actual birth packages are more expensive in their Samui hospital than their Phuket Hospital. I asked why and was told they have to bring everything on to the island. I suggested that they just leave it all here rather than taking it back and forwards but they did'nt seem to understand!

What time of the day would one go to Chaweng to see whatever it is there is to see? Will the boats be far out to sea? Where are they docked?

The races start at 10am but will mostly only be visable with a large pair of binoculars. There is a spectators boat (Seatran Discovery) which for 1500 Baht per day can get you out closer to the racing. All the boats will be anchored outside Centara and Tradewinds resorts. I was speaking to the person from Sunsail (Yacht charter company in Bo Phut) yesterday who are the people providing the yacht for the kids to race on and he said anyone mentioning Thai Visa can get a 20% discount on their charter fees. PM me for contact details

I need a new uk passport as i only have 8 months left on it does anybody know of where i can give my passport to somebody in samui and they take it to bangkok and have it done for me or do i have to go to bangkok and do it all myself?

As long as you are renewing your old one it can all be done by post you dont even have to go yourself. Have a look at British Embassy website, it explains it all. Would recomend spending the little extra to use the express postal service rather than rely on the normal service.
