Tropicalevo Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 How could we forget the famous 'Coco' Blues concert? Jerry Lee Lewis, UB40 and others whose names I forget. They all stayed at Coco properties here in Plai Laem. (Now Tongson Bay Villas or similar.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samui Coconut Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Neneh Cherry was here in the late 90's. Friend of mine met her at Secret Garden on the Sunday jam session. Mick Jagger stayed a couple of times in Ban Talign Nam Resort (Now InterContinental). I've seen a picture of him in Bophut. Also Lenny Kravitz has been seen on the island. Mick came the first after the BKK concert was cancelled as sound system was stranded in India....he stayed at Ban Taling Ngam then correct, very approachable guy, remember him arriving at the old airport going straight for the loo......leaving all the 'flower girls' (who had no idea anyway who he was) standing..... Thanks for the info. But The Stones cancelled as it had just been announced that SARS was going mad over here. So The Stones cancelled their BKK concert . . . n Jagger did a U-turn to Samui! R http://news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1298&dat=20030411&id=QwMzAAAAIBAJ&sjid=TQgGAAAAIBAJ&pg=5872,3364942 I guess there are many reasons/excuses.....

AlfGarnett Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Can confirm we saw Neneh cheery about 2001(maybe 2002) on a Bkk Airways flight to Samui, we were drunk and my friend started to sing one her songs, very loudly and badly, so will never forget that. Sam Fox goes to Lamai every year, saw her a couple of times, and my wife was in the same massage parlour in lamai as her once, where Sam knew everybody's name apparently. I have always wondered that a lot of Celebs could pretty much move around the Island without being noticed, as not many locals would recognise them. Especially if they avoided heavy tourist areas where they would get spotted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelerian Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Im pretty sure I just saw Barak Obama out having dinner tonight with HRM The Queen, in Prego on the beach road. He had the tortellini and she had a calzone..........but the wine was very strong and very very free flowing tonight, so I could be mistaken.

Samui Coconut Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Harvey Keck was seen at Moon Hut Bungalows a couple of months back. Brings the question to when is a celeb a celeb? I mean, how famous must you be to be a celeb. Many names I do not recognize, which doesn't mean much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
