Guys I ain't sure where you have been, reminising about 11 year old Bars, and not even sure they are still where you left them.

Samui is a very different beast from as recently as 5 years ago.

I have tonight spoken to the new owner of the original E & C.

He tells me it's going upscale, is going to be very beach orientated and will also incorporate an indoor/outdoor pool.

A big investment is being made, there are plenty of budget and medium scale establishments on the Island, personally I think it can only

be good for the Island imparticularly Bangrak.

I do understand that many people will want to go some place and pay 49 baht for a beer, but there are also people who would enjoy a nice bottle of wine

The more in the mix the merrier.

Before you start on my post, I have no personal investment or other interest, but would like to see a nice venue to spend my 1 day off.

I doubt this new venture will appeal to the wallets of 98% of the area but if there is the remainder that like it and can afford it then whats the problem.

Going "upscale" in Bangrak just sounds amusing to me in itself. :D Does that mean scantily clad ladies serving 250 baht glasses of wine and a poolside massage?

Certainly a very nice location for that type of place although its not a very big area of space is it.

Its a tough decision where to blow 5k Baht in an afternoon. My current favourite is to go round and round the ring road in a taxi stopping off at Family Mart for the occasional beer.

Maybe this will be an alternative? Wait and see....

Would that be a booooze cruise?

Not a bad idea for your next piss up.....a ring road event with everyone piled in a pick up.....a dozen pubs or so.....see how many are on the truck by the end.....

Best part would be hearing the stories of those lost bewildered souls left behind.....biggrin.gif

Beng I , I think it has been sold. A development resembling Niki Beach to replace it. I could stand corrected.

Sorry to hear that. I used to drink in there, after fawlty towers in Bophut was shut ( was a great place).... Who's next ? Is ex Big Joes still open ? And the irish times by Bandon hospital ?

shame Bandon hospital does not go?

Faulty Towers shame someone could re-open that now the name is still floaign around. Pic closed down aswell . now it is cafe uno.

if u opened a new fauty towers the you would have to come up with his famous 1 line or 2 ha hah ah. and say that everytime to the same customers and evry day.

he comes up with some cracking lines old Pete.

lol
