Can anyone please recommend a car rental service in Mae Nam/ Bophut/Chaweng area that does not indulge in the notorious car hire scam ( keeping passports and claiming alleged damage to the vehicle on returning, etc.)?

what costs would I have to expect? I din't need jeeps or SUVs, just a basic 4-wheeler :-)

depending on the price, I would consider renting long-term (weeks to months). Else I'd just rent on a daily basis and pile up my necessary errands.

Note that my wife and 1 year old daughter would be in the car, too.

Hi all, I'm looking for a taxi (not a rental car) with driver to drive one passenger from Koh Samui to Songkhla. Meter taxis, private cars or companies are OK as long as the cars are in reasonable condition.

I'm not looking for a bus or anything else, just a car, preferably with an all in rate including the ferry crossing.

Any contacts with phone numbers or email address are appreciated.

New Makro openeded today in south Lamai

Facts:

- Anyone can shop there, not only re-sellers.

- Payment options are cash and citibank card only.

- A troop of police-like looking traffic assistants, four ON the ring road, four on the parking lot, each equipped with a whistle to attract attention, and blowing into them frantically and CONTINUALLY, waving their arms like crazy at intimidated passers-by, all very comical, but cute in a way.

Here are some pics:

You don't need a Makro card at the one in Chaweng. All it means is you cannot get a VAT receipt.

I asked at the registration desk if I had to register. They said no. So I was able to shop without a Makro Card. I even got a stamped VAT receipt afterwards ( there was a guy hired only for the purpose of stamping the receipt after I passed the cashier.

I do not know about Lamai - but at Chaweng you do not even need the card.

All that the card does is to get you the newsletter and a tax invoice.

For people that do not have a card, they just receive a till receipt - tesco style.

Yes, that's what I got. But it was still stamped by a guy after I had received it.

The stamp is to confirm that you have paid for everything in the trolley

Drones & other radio controlled devices:

'D Games & Toys' in Maenam had a pretty good selection when I popped in this afternoon. Many had cameras & ranged in size between saucer & dustbin lid. Their aftercare service seemed pretty good too. They are located near the BoA (Yellow Bank) 60m short of the entrance to Santi Buri on the opposite side of the road.
