Lite Beer Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Have a look through samui.sawadee.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 For the best food in Samui and the best service you cant beat "The Islander" situated opposite the pizza hut on the main beach road. Also I have never seen any trouble of any sort in there. Having said that the restaurants in Chaweng are mostly good, just depends what you want to eat and what you want to pay.

pepsi666 Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dont mind the price as long as its not outrageous, What is Sawadee ? thanks, replies have been helpful Any further suggestions ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsi666 Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Now this is a bit disappointing, no recommendations from anyone (apart from the ones above) When I needed advice when I went to Pattaya, there were lots of replies and recommendations for peoples favorite hotel, pubs, dives Is it you all want too keep it a secret ? Or aren't there any other places, hotels, pubs, accommodation you could/can recommend ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Like I said before, most places here are good, it just depends on what you are looking for. As litebeer suggested have a look at the website http://www.samui.sawadee.com/ that says it all!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepsi666 Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 I was hoping for replies from REAL people, not a website Most people have a favourite haunt, hotel , pub they would like to share with others, these are usually a lot more upto date than a website Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, considering I generally spend about 2K booking my holiday, air fares and hotel, and spending money (which ends up more) , thought it might help out the samui economy (I know my little bit isnt much,) but there must be other tourists who browse in here for ideas and recommendations and it all adds up Maybe Samui isnt the friendly island I was expecting or hoping for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go to Ban Makham or Bang Po: Many affordable sea food rest. on the beach You like fun on the beach: Go to Ark Bar on Chaweng You like to be quiet: Go to Tongkrut What do you like?

I'll try anything, I want a holiday where I can meet the locals, meet expats, even other tourists, just generally trying to forget work for 2-3 weeks I'll be with the missus, and she pretty much has a go at most things, trekking, safari, whatever, really, even just sitting on a beach, 'chillin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
