JoneL Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hi! How is Samui in July? -is the weather usually good/decent? (hoping to spend some time just relaxing on the beach+swimming, or is the ocean very rough in July/red flags?) -is July very busy/crowded season? Or more relaxed+quiet? What area/beach you reccomend? -We are looking for some nice restaurants -Nice beautiful beach for walks + sunbathing -Some GOOD/classy tailor shops? And is Samui very expencive island? I mean eating in restaurants+getting tailor made clothes...? Comperd to Hua Hin or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 The weather in July is ok but will rain a little. Usually not many people about so will be pretty quiet. The sea should be ok for swimming. If you want nice beaches and lots of restaraunts Chaweng or Lamai. Personally I do not like Chaweng as I find it too big and hectic. Lamai is a lot smaller. Only my opinion though. Samui is relatively expensive for Thailand. But a lot cheaper than where you are from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Forgot. Stay away from the Taxis. They are a total rip off. They wont put the meters on and can get nasty when you question the fare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goldfish Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Personally I feel Lamai has a few too many ladybars for a couple to feel confortable, agree with the comments on taxis tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Personally I feel Lamai has a few too many ladybars for a couple to feel confortable, agree with the comments on taxis tho Plenty of families come here and it does not seem to worry them. Most of the lady bars are grouped in one area. Everyone agrees about the taxis exept the authorities who do nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What place you reccomend if not Lamai beach? We are looking more relaxed/quiet vacation... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 (edited) Bophut any day.[/b Nice hotels ,close to everything,nice beach & restaurants. A short hop to Chaweng if you fancy going there & 30 minutes from Lamai. Edited January 2, 2007 by Rooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What place you reccomend if not Lamai beach? We are looking more relaxed/quiet vacation... Oh dear, now you've put me on the spot. Can't I just complain instead? Agree, Bophut is probably your best bet, fishermans village is very nice. Maenam I am quite fond of, but don't spend much time there to be able to recommend it. The heart of Cheweng can be very hectic, but it does become quieter just a kilometer away from the centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoneL Posted January 2, 2007 Author Share Posted January 2, 2007 Ok... So Chaweng is also "ok" place to stay if I avoid staying in center of Chaweng? How about Bophut + Lamai? Do they offer any good tailors? Or do I need to go to Chaweng for tailors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 All the tailors are similar.They send the work out to various contractors. The only thing the guy does in the shop is take your measurments & when the time comes for a fitting then the contractor comes in & does all the adjustments.
