samuibeachcomber Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 do you think fishermans village needs spicing up or just left alone as it is? sometimes i think it could do with some girlie bars like banrak.( i believe F/V is not zoned for this)but i do find the bars boring.any comments.

koheesti Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I love Fisherman's Village. It's nice to have bars where you can go without the BG's throwing themselves all over you (like the bars where I choose to live ). It just seems more "normal" to me. Besides, it's nice to have neighborhoods with different feels to them on the island. If everywhere were the same it would be less interesting.

theoracle Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Not being rude but this is a really stupid question, why don't you just go to Bangrak if thats the scene you are after and after all it's only 2 minures down the road. The whole of the island is covered in girlie bars and karaokes and you want to turn the only family haven into that aswell. Very short sighted.

suegha Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 How to spice it up is the question then? We don't want girlie bars there, we have them everywhere else. Personally, I love it as it is, it has more character than many places on the island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevdulounge Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Hi think the fisherman village should more like Soi green mango... They should destroy all these old wooden thai style crapy fisherman houses and build several night clubs... like the reagge pub, something cool ! Let's pattayaze the whole dam_n place, yey ! This is ironic of course. I chosed to live in the fisherman's village (10 minutes walk from it accutually) because it's one the quitest and still welcoming place on the island ! Many great restaurants, nice bars and lounge to chill out.. I'm not ashamed to say 'this is where I live' when my parents come visit from over seas. The village is just fine the way it is Acctually I'd simply move to somewhere else (where - i dont know) if the girls started coming here. Prostitution is a very sad thing - and the customers are a really sad sad bunch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gusalf Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Absolutly. Keep it "boring" and bugger off to Chaweng if you are so sad How to spice it up is the question then?Personally, I love it as it is, it has more character than many places on the island. I sign that!

Fishermans Village has its own charm, also The billabong play live music ect.......... and there has been some very hot chicks in there ( Not Bar Girls ) so there is a little challenge for you Edited August 5, 2008 by Boater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koheesti Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 agree, if you are into girly bars visit Bangrak, if you want the nightlife pop into chewang... There are several girlie bars in Bangrak but it's not the place to go if that's what you like. Green Mango or Soi Reggae are much, much better for things like that. Back to Fisherman's village - Samui would be better off if some more of the island were like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Only been living in samui for 6 months, but I'm already fed up with the BG crowd... and the drunks... I try to go to chaweng as little as possible, and fortunatly the village still has a "real life" feeling about it...

LaoPo Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I hope - for heaven's sake - that the few original Thai/Chinese families, still living in Bophut will NOT bow for money and may Buddha forbid that girlie bars are/will be allowed.

LaoPo Keep Fishermans village as it is!, it is still the only consider up market area in Samui...... as if you bring in the girly bars, all you will have is LOAD and CRAP music blaring down the whole street!

ClaudeFeller Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 FV has some nice places to go - one of them selling a bucket full of ice cold beer bottles, nice idea! What I dont understand is why they are not able to do "walking street" in the evening, should be a good promotion (I know: Thais dont like to walk..) What I dont like: It is almost impossible to see the sea, too many 2-3 storey buildings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chefsw Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 FV is fine as it is and i am slowly working my way through all the restaurants and bars at the moment it's hard work but somebody has to do it, haven't come across one selling a bucket of beers yet any clues like a name would be a help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are great idea, take one of the more realxed chilled out areas of Samui and pollute it with bar girls. I am sure that some of the local businesses that attract customers that dont want the bar girls will be over joyed with your suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visionquesthai Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Really??? Is this someone playing a joke just to get people going? Of course FV doesn't need Girlie Bars!! Why would you like to homogenize the entire island like this???? There are far too many and like a previous poster, I agree, far too many sad people in them. There needs to be a place where people can go, listen to some live music, have some food, have a massage or just stroll, (maybe even with kids or family) without all of that. If you really find it "boring" because you aren't able to get your "fix" of false love.....go elsewhere or maybe try doing something that may enhance your character like read a book or learn something instead (maybe then you can have conversation inside a "normal bar") and then you may see there is a life without bar girls.

Birdman Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 It's getting already too commercialized with all the vendors, selling the same boring tourist staff like in Chaweng, Lamai, Pattaya, Bangkok... And indeed it should be a pedestrian area in the evening, so should be Chaweng between Starbucks and Mc Donalds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony121 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 The idea of making FV a walking street is already being discussed by some of the business owners in the village problem is where will everyone park. and no BG's its fine just as it is.
