No implementation of the security act for the yellows only for the reds.

The yellows will feel left out, or does it indicate some sort of bias- surely not.

The Yellow protests are in general a lot more peaceful than those of the reds.

Who are you kidding

Leave the man alone, At least when he was in power he was elected by the people.

Samui is very very very quiet and has been all year.

It is far worse in Koh Samui, even the meter taxi's will not switch the meter on on average 350bt for 5km or less

Sorry to report that the poor guy died, Police have 2 in custody apparently 18 year old from Maenem, lets hope they dont have wealthy parents and they get proper justice.

Do they have CCTV in Soi Green Mango

Security guard shot in soi green mango last night after fight with group of young Thais

Anyone know if he survived ?

As far as i know he was shot around the knee area, police were there in minutes and one went with him to the hospital.

Anyone have any ideas ??

Both Long & Shirt Sleeve please ??

Thanks in advance for replies..

i have one, which you can have for 2000bt (no offers) good looking chap, originally cost 4300bt in bangkok

I am arriving in Bangkok on Sunday, staying at Sukhamvit Soi 1, any flooding there????????

Plenty of houses for sale from private owners, it depends what you are looking for, Estate Agents tend to upsell and go for the higher end of the market. I know of 3 houses in Chaweng Noi for sale between 1.3 and 1.6 million bt.

I hope the British press follow this to its conclusion. Than the scum might just get a heavy jail term

Another thing that always gets me is why are all the travel tours priced in Dollars ? Who reading a Samui paper will be paying for a trip to China in Dollars ? Surely they are going to want to know the cost in Baht ?

I also think it has improved slightly but would like to see more local news and articles to do with Samui in geneal not pieces pulled off the wire. It is after all called the Samui Express

Samui Express is best served wrapped around your chips for the journey home.

a total insult to chips

just got a taxi from phuket airport to patong at the weekend 650bt from the airport and 480bt for the return (80km in total). Compared with Samui 400bt to the Airport and 500bt from the Airport, total distance 10km.

Phuket has a long way to go before it gets as bad for Samui for Taxi rip offs

The truth is he was the best PM EVER FOR THE POOR AND NOT SO GOOD FOR THE MIDDLE UPPER CLASS, SADLY THAILAND HAS BEEN IN TURMOIL FOR THE LAST 3 YEARS AND THERE IS NO END IN SIGHT

IT JUST AMAZES ME THAT THE PAD ARE STILL ALLOWED TO ROAM FREE, THEY HAVE DESTROYED THAILANDS REPUTATION WORLDWIDE AND HAVE CAUSED HARDSHIP AND SUFFERING AMONGST THE THAI POPULATION, IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY THEY WOULD BE IN JAIL

LETS SEE HE CLEARED ALL THERE DEBTS AND HE IS A BAD GUY. BUT NOW THEY ARE HAPPY BECAUSE STUPID MONEY IS BEING THROWN AT THEM

Another sign of true democracy. I want to know if anyone still believes that Red Shirt (or Taksin and/or Taksin followers)are still true democrats

If you compare them with the so called democrat party or the PAD, then yes the Reds are 100% democratic

^ It's been postponed because of the election. They sent out an email a couple of days ago.

Funny its still advertised on there website and at the Siam Paragon travel show

Sounds more plausible that Mr Georgesen is scamming his local press - I don't buy this story at all.

Are you for real, obtaining money by menaces is a Thai speciality

I purchased the Fusion package at Siam Paragon today and paid 10,320bt that includes all taxes including the Samui departure tax, so thats 2580 bt per flight, which is pretty good,

Beware, the educated ones are just more clever at ripping you off, instead of 1000 -2000 bt per night, it is usually larger amounts less often, this is no paradise island its a slum with nice weather most of the time, full of scam artists and Farang wannbe bar moguls running out off options. Samui is the way backward beware

Tesco own brand t-bags was 70bt a week later 89bt

5 pack mars bars were 115bt now 133bt

french stick was 21bt 2 years later 33bt i could go on and on but i hate typing, oh yes brooks baked beans the most expensive i have seen in Thailand

While I was there, I stayed in Royal Asia Lodge hotel, I'm wondering if there's any similar hotels that has better rooms (TV that's good lol and free internet usage in the room) affordable prices in that area, although I didn't spend much for the hotel, I would like to shop around for better deals, anyone recommend me anything better? thanks.

Dynasty Grande in Soi 6 off Soi 4 is pretty nice. Big rooms, new and with big TV's. Worth a look for sure.

Had some friends staying there last year and they thought it much better than the one on soi4

Interested in booking a few nights there in Feb anyone know the current prices?

The one on Soi 4 has a musy smelly running through the rooms at the back of the hotel and overpriced from 1490 to 2200bt

Woraburi Inn near the end of soi 4 has good clean rooms for 990bt

The rooftop pool is good for cooling off, has wifi but the breakfast was terrible

Only place i've stayed cheaper than this was Suk11 guesthouse cheap clean no frills kind of place

Has wifi but you pay for it

There's a new Ibis Hotel recently opened up on Sukhumvit Soi 4. They have wi-fi, but no pool, still, the rooms look pretty good for the price.

The rooms are tinyand basic and the internet is 100bt for 1 hour or 400bt for 24hours for wireless

I love City Lodge Soi 9, I never watch the TV and don't know if it has internet, it's clean, has great A/C and is in a great location.

I also stayed there on my last 3 trips to Bkk, its an Amari Hotel so the rooms are great, TV not very good and internet only on the front rooms of hotel and all i could get was truemove at 90bt per hour. Right now if you just walk in the rooms are 999bt or 1200 if you book via internet
