Tropicalevo Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 It sure is (in spite of the knockers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsamui Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 (edited) It sure is (in spite of the knockers). The only knockers I've seen around lately seem to belong to some of the Russian ladies . . . R Edited November 17, 2011 by robsamui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrChopper Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Agreed completely. And not only that I'm pretty happy with my selection from the Top 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southbot Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Great to see positive stuff like that/this. Islands are what you make of them, I've lived on several, and Samui is great if you make it great. And that is easy to do IMHO. Good Stuff!

ydraw Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sounds like that article was written about 10 years ago, given the population figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorSucker Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Sounds like that article was written about 10 years ago, given the population figures. No, the official population on Samui is 50.000 They don't count guest workers, expatiates and tourists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article. Anyone pondering a move to Koh Samui should rent The Beach, the Leo DiCaprio film set on the dreamy Thai island of Phi Phi, which was a stand-in for Koh Samui.

brzy Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Actually the story from the beach was based about Angthong national marine park Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the article. Anyone pondering a move to Koh Samui should rent The Beach, the Leo DiCaprio film set on the dreamy Thai island of Phi Phi, which was a stand-in for Koh Samui. So, if they like the Samui from the film, then they should go to Phi Phi instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 as far as I can remember was Koh Samui not even mentioned. The Beach was/is at the Anghthong Marine Park and they went to KPG for supplies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boater Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Sounds like that article was written about 10 years ago, given the population figures. You can still find loads of beautiful homes for less than six figures, but Wesley Morlham of Samui Property Solutions from the company quoting, i would say over 3 years old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
