Samui Blues

[davethailand]

I'm thinking of taking a small hoilday to Samui with the wife etc, I've never been there before but whilst I'm there I want to check out the Coco Blues Bar (i think thats the name).

Any reports on it?

(I'm checking out the competition)

Cheers

DT.

Dave go to the Brazilian Restaurant/bar complex south of Chaweng...great caipirrinhas and beautiful dancers....The Secret Garden has been having sunday jams since I can remember, some top notch visiting and local musicians play there, absolutely worth the visit...in the northern part of the Island around Maenam....Enjoy!

Dave,

Zico's, the Brazilian place in Chaweng is very good indeed. Outstanding food, good music and fantastic danseuses (that may be French for dancers!)

Coco is too loud in my opinion, you'll have to shout to each other. Oh yeah, it's a bit pricey as well.

Secret Garden is a great place to be. Every sunday, in Bang Rak (not in Maenam). Every cab driver will know where it is (safest way to get there if you wanna fill up). Starts around 16.00 finishes way after dark................. by the time you hit Chaweng, even the two gogo's may have gained some interest level.

Not at all sure about that phillipino band Inferno though, I left halfway through their performance last time. Good food at Secret Garden too.

Dave,

Forgot to mention that Zico's is part of Central Beach Resort in Chaweng and is not far from the main entrance of Central.

Bang Rak is not that close to Maenam - it's nearer Bophut and between There and Big Buddha.
