Mark Wolfe Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 What would be the best ONE WORD NICKNAME for Koh Samui, and what would be the BEST SHORT PHRASE to use as a slogan for the island? Mr. Lamai inadvertantly gave the kernal for a slogan: "Samui -- Never a dull moment, but utterly pointless" My one word nickname? "Sodden Samui." Oh, and the prizes thing was a bait-and-switch...hehe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

farang62 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 As I read the comments it appears that the majority of the posters don't like Samui! Than why do you stay? Yes Samui is changing, as is the rest of the world. It appears that people who are not satisfied could leave and no one would miss them. Tourists who come to Samui enjoy their stay and with a few exceptions return. I have heard nothing but good told about Our Home, both from tourists and those that have been here and at gathering in Europe and the U.S.. Yes they have complaints and things they didn't like, but we all do wherever we go. Yes many things need improving as they do every where, very few Farangs participate in projects that help improver Samui, if you live here or BENEFIT from Samui get involved and get a positive attitude, we need more positive thinking, less bitching. How can I help make changes for the better, frustrating at times, yes but when you see positive results it feels good that you helped make it happen. Most of the time there is no recognition, but you know and that is what counts, you gave something back! The old saying (modified) "Samui Love it or Leave it" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suegha Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Nice one farang62! I love Samui and I can't understand why people stay there if they hate so much. And as for these negative threads... So let's make it positive. Special Samui! A beautiful paradise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old saying (modified) "Samui Love it or Leave it" Have you tried to live om Samui for a longer period than 14 days of holyday. Those people who makes complain about this and that have surely tried to make improvments in their daily life here. From the landlords and all the way up to the lokal goverment. And what do you think happens. Absolutly NOTHING. Thais belive in only themselvs, and farangs shall not come to Thailand an tell them what to do. They just laugh at you, and think the same as people like you; if you don`t like it here, go home. But that is too simple. People have maybe built up their homes, famlies, buisiness, friendship and society here. If you in your hometown dont like some peoples behaving, do you tell you selv to mowe to another place. Hardly. I belive those people who make complains about Samui really love the island, and also see the potensial of what it really could be. Namely a paradise.
