i've got two young kids and one more on the way, have lived here for nearly 5 years and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. it's far from perfect for sure but close enough in the ways that matter to me.

i suppose there is a difference between an individual calling in requesting a service and arranging transport for large groups of people that are occupying most of their villas and several residences.

as far as i've ever seen, installation is nothing more than passing a seat belt through the back of the car seat. the biggest problem for me has been finding acceptable (western safety standards) car seats here on samui. i finally had one delivered from the states.

i've heard of some sports field in cheong mon, not sure of the name or location but i thought they had a soccer field. there is also a mini soccer game in cheong mon but i don't think on the same property.

there is a public field way down in laem set, not easy to find unless you know where to go.

Khun Jack at Samui boat. He is just by the lights after the immigration lights going towards Lamai. He knows his stuff and isn't expensive. If you would like his number drop me a PM. Cheers Dunc

pm sent, thanks.

thank you very much. i believe that is precisely whom i was referred to however i can't verify unless they answer their phone or find alternate means to communicate.

one for each yacht of course

Well who do you want to pay, the staff who are responsible for breakages? You are the one responsible for your families actions until they are old enough to take responsibility yourself. I presume you at least helped clean up the mess your child made by throwing the food on the ground.

preposterous. if you ever ran a restaurant it would be easy to identify now by the "gone out of business" sign on the door.

now the Lizard King may R.I.P.

tyvm crusty, i've got my girls calling now.

any other contacts always appreciated. we have quite a few yachts and they are all motor yachts and sometimes sophisticated. always work to be done.

I have a number of people from pattaya, phuket and penang that work on my boats when something goes wrong but i'm hoping that someone from this forum knows someone (hopefully trained) and competent that can work on boats. specifically engines, generators, battery and electrical systems etc.

last week in penang i was able to get a name and contact for someone in phangan that was supposed to be a whiz with boat repairs but i can't reach him after many attempts. his name was Paul, supposed to be located near the pier at thong sala. if anyone has his contact info or info for anyone else that is capable of this type of work please post or pm their info. thanks.

and for the record, a certain 5 star resort that owns several land rovers rents them to me with driver for 100-150USD per day depending on season.

Which is approximately 90% cheaper than the Price mentioned a few Posts above the one i'm quoting !!!!

i was pretty shocked when they offered me that price the first time. i was scrambling to accommodate a group that just ballooned from 20 to 40 overnight, all of course requiring nice vehicles with drivers (not mini bus or taxi) and they said 100 bucks per full day.

this is incorrect, they dont own them, but rent them from a company in bangkok, this is the same company that also can rent out the discovery here in Samui

http://www.limousine...r_landrover.php

whether they own or rent is immaterial. they are renting them to me at 1/5th of the cost as advertised through that link and that's what really matters. seriously looks like i'll have to start a dedicated transport team now because we are demonstrating regular demand but no one local to fill the need and that's a lot of money not being spent. good thing there are 738 italian restaurants though.

ha good stuff

pls pm contact details for that discovery if you have it.

gerry if you want to rent that out i can get 5-7k per day for it depending upon driver source.

boater, i guarantee my clients would rent that one and they would buy bottles of champagne for the drive to nikki beach where they would buy more champagne just to spray on everyone else.

5.5mio baht is not expensive at all but it's all relative i guess. one of my customers buys a bmw 7 series so his friend now has to get a nicer new car. samui is only one of their monthly holidays during the year and if i could effectively store a hummer for each of them upon their return, i would. they save 5.5 million baht easily here vs. that same holiday in switzerland.

i've seen a couple hummers driving past me with for sale signs in the window but i wasn't able to get the number. lol though at hummers being anything luxurious. i used to live 15 minutes away from the factory where they are all built and they are nothing but disposable crap that needs constant repair. they aren't even particularly expensive, just unique to the area and that's what my clients want, and will pay for.

some of you have got to know the owner(s) of the increasing number of Hummers (Humvees) on the island. please contact me by PM as i have a ton of clients arriving that need luxury/unique vehicles for rent over the holidays. i'll provide drivers or they can provide the owner can provide the driver, either way the guests will not be operating them.

if you actually are on a one year non imm b visa then you are ok (visa wise) until that one runs out. if however you received a one year extension of your original 3 month non imm b then you probably should choose between border exits, pronto.

your post says you have a one year non imm b, but if you are going to nathon for your stamp every 90 days then it sounds like you actually have the "extension" rather than the visa.

i just made the drive from samui to penang (via hadyai/sadao) for the umpteenth time and there were no problems on the major roads at all.

i like to make a paste out of my tea leaves and apply them to my bum knee, then stand outside facing due north and expose my dental fillings to the sea breeze.

makes for great radio reception.

Are you the one that lights up during a lightning strike?

that's my brother Darryl.

not saying that windguru is wrong, but i use them for windspeed, wind direction and wave info and then perhaps confirmation of precipitation from other sources.

on any given day here you can check three different forecasts and get three completely different results.
