Hi Guys, Im wondering if its best to purchase all my Thai Baht in Kohsamui/bangkok when Im over using english sterling? Is it beneficial doing it this way?

Also, is there a modern cheap gym in Koh samui that I can use when I am over?

Can you still get A&W root beer easy enough in Thailand and is alcohol still fairly cheap?

Any advise on resteraunts, things to do in Koh samui would also be appreciated. Fly out on the 2nd and get married on the 11th, doing it with Faraway Weddings who seem to have a pretty good reputation.

Cant wait!

All the best for xmas and new yaer

Dont change your money in the UK...you will get about only 41-42 baht, currently in Thailand is 46....so change it here......I always found the 99 gym was the best, its just at the crossroads of the Ghost Road and Bandon.....used to be 1,000 Baht for 3 months, plenty of fixed and free weights plus it was open from 6am-10pm, although no air con.....most other gyms are expensive and the hours are shorter...Lamai had a new gym open at the start of the year with good equiptment but havnt been there..its on the beach road...congrats on the marriage

Thanks for the reply, will google the gym or check it out when I get out there. Is it possible to get creatine/supps over there or are they easily available? Plan on working out most days over there I guess.

Thanks for coming back and for the kind words, appreciate it.

Paul if you check the Koh Samui Phangan Tao forum here there is a pinned restaurant thread. Do a search for the many suggestions of things to do or ask for specifics.

Congrats on the upcoming wedding!
