Dave has done a fantastic job on Samui, and very ably support by Mook.  I hope the embassy are reading Thai Visa and will seek to make sure that Dave is recognised in someway for his invaluable service to the British Community for such a long time.  I know that many Brit Ex-Pats and visiting bereaved Families from the UK, are very grateful for the kind, considerate and supporting way he has helped those in need.  Additionally, he has been the main stay in organising the very successful Remembrance Day Service we have each year.  On behalf of the bereaved Families and Ex-Pats on the Island, thank you very much indeed and have a wonderful retirement on this beautiful Island.
