Paul from Island books has opened another shop in central Lamai.Its not as big as the one on the ring road but its well stocked.Its located in the shopping plaza next to the shamrock Irish pub, Cheers.

Got the dates i wanted by calling them,couldnt get them on the website.9,800Bt return for two on an airbus.Nice one !

Ssen you guys playing at the Shamrock bar in Lamai,really enjoyed listening to you guys,great band,hope to see ye again.Good luck with finding a bass man !

Im also sorry to hear UKTV will soon be discontinued,compared to the offerings on Samui cable and UBC this is a great service.The five day playback option also allows you to pick the best bits and skip the rubbish.Im disappointed its going as i am happy to pay,come on Peter keep it going !!!

Be prepared to pay a hefty commision using an agency,are you looking for a band,two piece or DJ ? Theres lots available on the island,give me an idea what your looking for and i will point you in the right direction,no commision !!!

Is that the band with the two lady lead singers ?There was a great band playing there tonight.They had the place rocking,lots of people dancing and having a good time.

Here on Koh Samui we have the 7 eleven drinker who sits outside the store supping there large chang and thinks nothing of using the very nice bathroom facilities of my local.The bar manager refuses them entry and politly tells them to use 7 elevens bathrooms and they get a little upset.

Hello all,i found a 3 metre tree at Carrafour.Quality is ok too,cheers

Hello Naam,no interest on a savings account for a non resident, i will pay them a visit tomorrow and ask about a fixed account.Im just pissed off with having to freeze the money for so long !

Hello all,just wondering if anyone can throw some light on this,<br /><br />                                                                                                               i have a small commercial development which is basically twelve shop units i lease out.I have received a letter from the electric company saying they want an additional 90 000 baht deposit.Ive already given a 40 000 baht deposit so a total of 130 000 baht is required.My monthly bill comes to 65 000 baht approx. so this is basically a two month deposit.The electric company said my bank can help me with the guarantee paper so a quick trip to my local Bangkok bank and im informed that i must deposit the 90 000 baht in a seperate account which i cannot access and it will cost 1800 baht a year to service the account.My lease is for twenty years and its money which i will probobly never see again.Is this standard practice or is there a way around this ?Thanks in advance for any help.<br /><br />

Theres a great thai band playing at the shamrock in lamai at the moment called Climax,well worth a look.

I was talking to the owner (American) and he says they will be opening on the 10th and there will be some great special offers,not sure what but i can find out..I for one will be giving it a try,as the old adage goes "Dont knock it till you try it" As for the ice cream shop,its seriously tasty,maybe you could inquire about the kids menu if the portions are too big Kosh !By the way,the place seems to be doing pretty well as anytime i pass theres always a few tables occupied.Theres lots of families in town at the moment which helps .

We Booked ours at the Samui Shamrock, we had a great dinner there last year.The service and quality of food was first class and we didnt have to share our table with any grumpy ex pats
