Happy Hours

[robsamui]

Hi again.

Yet another piece of serious research . . .

The usual happy hour format is designed to entice folks to turn up when there's the best chance that they'll stop for more and even stay for a meal too, as the island has far more restaurants than bars. So the usual sort of timing is 6pm to 8 pm, or round this period.

And every one here on Samui seems to be a toofer - buy one get one free.

Then - to keep costs down - there's often limitations, like 'only on cocktails and local beers'.

It's unfair to compare us to Pattaya, as that's 95% bars, and if you work it right you can always find a bar that's having a 'birthday party' and eat free as well as drinking at half price . . .

Anybody know of an good happy hours around the island - really long happy hours or ones where everything on the drinks list is twoferised? Or even a better alternative to buy one get one free . . . ?

Cheers!

There was I really great website back in Oz, that listed the details of heaps of happy hours around Melbourne. They had a smartphone app, that would located close by happy hours based on your location. I've actually wondered if something like that would have legs here in Samui...

No it wouldn't!

That's a part of what I'm realising. You need to have hundreds of bars and clubs all in competition with each other - Samui don't got that. It's all restaurant-based and there just ain't enough bars for it to work - with the exception of maybe Soi Reggae. Like I said, Pattaya's a different kettle of tuna . . .

Sorry, but we do have establishments that sponsor this forum. I really do not see the purpose of giving other venues a free plug.
