I love Samui because it places me in a different frame of mind . None of the 'stressful thoughts of the rat race' from back home. It has sun sea and sand, a great range of restaurants and the nicest people you could ever meet. Helps me un-wind!

ps I'm arriving on the 17th of April for 3 weeks, so I'm working up to it!!!

Not love, but enjoyed a 3 night stay there about a year ago.

I had a fun baht bus ride with friendly Thai and non-Thai people it which tons of karaoke speakers were stuffed in with the passengers. Also enjoyed a few chats with a lady from a travel agency. It turned out that her auntie had a Thai Resturant located in my home town. Small world.

Agree with the OP about change of mindset - I love Samui cause when I'm there I do not think of Worthing UK - but in the UK I DO think of Samui

Mainly for the reasons already quoted

My favourite beach is Chong Mon, NE corner of the island.

I love the way many nationalities blend to form a happy medium in paradise!.....wow maan lets smoke! :o

The semi-secret is out and for once I agree with this post, except the smoking part.

On your island, I love Gai and her family at Gai's Pharmacy & Grocery in Maenam. I like San Phet supermarket in Nathon. The beach at Lipa Noi is beautiful for sunsets.

Yes it is. Nearly bought a house there (bought i Plai laem instead). Child friendly beach as well.

I love lakeview bungalows, it is safe and secure, close to everything that interest me and it has a great garden with swimming pool for my children and me to play in. It is my oasis.

I hate to break this to you but my friend who lives in Lavkeview Bungalows had his house broke into. They stole his laptop, camera and phone. They removed the air conditioner to get in. He thinks it was some of the guys that work out at the Muy Thai training gym close by. This was about 6 weeks ago.

If you add it all up, Plai Laem is the best area of the island to live in, access to pretty much everything. Is that why you bought there, Suegha? I mean the access part.

I love that every couple of months when we go to Samui for a day or 2, we are guaranteed to find great farang food,

we don't go out clubbing, not our style

or go swimming, we have a nice quiet beach at home

and we have plenty of inexpensive Thai food at home

but the farang food, :o

I am a kid in a candy shop, literally

Yes it is. 5 mins from so many places and 10 to nearly everywhere else! I love it.

I hate to brake it to you but your friend has brougth ladyboys to his house too many times. The muy thai gays are probably too blame for a lot, now if you ask the manager of lakeview bungalows he is quite happy with what they have done to that area. What hes not happy with (and i know this for a fact because i normally stay in lakeview bungalows), is the fact that some of the longtermers keep bringing ladyboys to the area!!! Now this is a case i know in particular and i say:are all of the people in the "gameclub" gays?? I mean, a bunch of fifty plus people meeting every saturday to play nintendo???????? Are u serious??? Get a grip!!! Samui has : Nice beaches, beutiful women, nice climat, cocconuts,mangotrees,good seafood,and so much else to offer, and a bunch of locals that sit every saturday playing videogames and getting hight on wathever and complaining about somebody robbed them after bringing home several ladyboys and showing them there laptop??????????You people are so gay that its getting embarrissing!!! Now, i have a suggestion for the whole gameclub: Next saturday you dont even start your nintendo, y

I might. No, serious, im not good at englich, but im quite good at manners. Im so sorry if i lost my tempure but i really feel that somebody that did not diserve it got hurt in this post. Now i, as a tourist spent a lot of my time in lakeview bungalows and liked it. I happend to know that the brake in they had 8 or 9 weeks ago was caused by some man himself because he brought ladyboys in his home. Now, this is a problem all over samui. If you are turned on by ladyboys, the thing is they will check out your home and for sure come back to steel what you have, no matter where you live. Its how they work. They turn u on and see what you have in your home and how to get in. Now, if you keep bringing ladyboys to your home every night and still are surprised when you get robbed, im sorry you dont get it. And "meatgrowler" i am sorry about me speeking an englich you dont understand. If you send me a e-mail i will try to make it even clearer for you. Im not so good at englich, sorry.

Now im gonna do somthing relly crazy, im gonna answer my own quote!! This post where about to be about whats great about samui, yet it ended up about something else, sorry for me contributing to that. I love samui because: you can go to the mountain-resturant with your girlfrined and have a romatic dinner, you can go to the beutiful beach (choeng moen, or even chaweng this time a year) and have a nice lunch with a salt wather bath rigth after it, you can still go and do some jetskidriving, or even a "halfway-serious" offroad-driving with a good motorbike. You can still have a lot of fun on this island and every-one who dont appreciate this should be sent to europe in januari!!! Kidding, but lets face it:you are in paradise and should appreciate it. Samui is a great place to be, even thought it changed alot over the years.

why do nice happy threads always turn in to ladyboy/stealing/murder etc look around the other forums on tv when they post they post relivent answers to the question set ive been here 13 years never going back to the uk not left thailand for 3 years resident visa not over stay seen most of the evolution of samui 1st hand helped in some of it if the building work etc hadnt been done the tourist would not be here only cheap sangson swilling low lifes its still a great place to live and earn a living have a look on the net at world news you are better off here than anywhere else in the world if some of you dont like it then its time for you to go else where as for getting the thread back on track this island is my paradise and could not emagine raising my daughter anywhere else she has a great school 1 minute from the beach can swim in my own pool 365 days a year order a pizza and big mac go see the latest movie at tescos she can play outside on her bike and i dont have to worry about the devients else where in the world. i meet many many people and they would give there right arm to have what we have here on samui so be thankful for what we have guys and girls a paradise with the odd hicup now and again :o longest reply ive ever sent thinking maybe the threads finish :D
