Devil Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Hi, does any one know if there are any freelance or companies that offer Russian / English speaking guides or assistants on Koh Samui? And any idea of daily rates? Basically a friend needs someone to help him translate with some friends coming over from Moscow next week for 1 week from 22nd Feb. Unfortunately one of the group that is a close friend who speaks English and was originally coming over with the group had to cancel. Thanks for help...

So far not found to much using Google... only liz-luxen.com pops up for Samui but seems pricey for daily rates 8,000 baht! If I have read it correctly.
