livinthailandos Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I figure I'd ask this question not only for feedback but curious to know what your answers are. Is there anything on samui that we don't have, that we need to see brought to the island?? We already have a Mcdonalds Starbucks Major Cineplex Tesco, Makro, Big C Bowling Spas Airport Internet Cable Slowly but surely improving road Car dealerships Hospitals Bar girls Restaurants Apartments You get my point now look forward to all your answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chopperbopper Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 For the a start, i would have to say people with any sort of brain. After that, there is so much missing .... Good shopping centre Non racist locals Boats that go to the mainland later than 7 pm Contract killers who we can pay to kill all the taxi metre drivers ! Good TV ... UBC seems to just be getting worse and worse. There are so many things missing from here it would take years to list them all but this is a start for you.

Samuian Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Post's 2 - 5 got the point! Maybe a few more traffic lights, and speed restrictions, in general more road safety controls, safety checks! Some stunts the Minibus drivers perform are breathtakingly irresponsible! Enforcement of the NO mobile phone use while driving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boater Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 A Sizzler restaurant.. good point, fantastic restaurant but sizzler is mostly located in Central World shopping centres, which Samui hasnt got .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
screamingeagle Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 (edited) A venue for female mud wrestling. Absolutely! That suggestion gets my vote. I also would like green rolling hills and big oak trees. Edited January 1, 2010 by screamingeagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livinthailandos Posted January 1, 2010 Author Share Posted January 1, 2010 andyandythai have news for you regarding the sizzler, although to be honest the leasing and contracting the place are still in negotations. Heres what I Know. My friends wife actual works for minor ( minor is the company that has the pizzy company, anantara hotels, dealing with sizzler, etc ) anyways I was told by her they had actually contacted 1 place in chaweng. Its the shop across from khaosan bakery that 3 story building that sells clothes and t-shirts. But like I said negotations are still ongoing hope helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koheesti Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 Avatar in 3D. Reliable public transportation (middle of the day, ring road in Bophut sometimes 20-30 minutes before a songthaew or taxi bike passes). Maybe a free (or cheap) tourist shuttle running every hour with routes something like Chaweng-Lamai, Fisherman's Village-Bangrak-Chaweng, FV-Chaweng, etc. The local transport "mafia" would certainly have a problem with it. Decent music concerts. (Sure, the superstars wouldn't come to such a small place but there are hundreds of formerly famous acts out there touring around and playing a gig on the tropical island of Koh Samui could be a draw for them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaoPo Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 A car ferry Samui - Phangan Better yet a bridge! A chunnel with a railroad would be better; it can be connected to the railroad system on Samui with connection to the chunnel to the mainland. Would increase the house prices LaoPo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kosh Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 (edited) decent, regulated public transport Agree, the biggest problem of Samui is the mess on the transport system. Taxi no meter, songtae cheap but going where they like at time they like. Airport only flight to bangkok....there was a very good alternative, Firefly to penang and they moved it to Subang, useelss place and double the price. Forgot, last boat at 6pm, no way...............

PoorSucker Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 English public school. Forbidden noise pollution (tonight tonight superfight etc.) Constant water pressure . (maybe pipeline to mainland) Real newspaper. Hazardous waste recycling. (small batteries, cell phones etc.) Taco bell. Chesters grill. German microbrewery. (come on, must be one German on the Island that can make beer). COVERED SEWAGE. WORKING LAMPPOSTS, especially Chaweng-Lamai ohhh, almost forgot mud wrestling.
