Yes i didn't pay enough to get my free limoncello.......

Just been and eaten at the same place, thought you were still going to be there so went up for a feed. Very nice Italian brothers running the place, couldn't fault the service and food. Just annoyed I didn't have the Lemoncello but then again I didn't buy a bottle of wine......

Just in Lamai now at Bamboo restaurant next door to Bikini Reggae bar on beach. Lovely food and cheap. Just been to pick up some money from bank so back at hotel around 4 pm. Not sure about Ark bar as want to take little one on beach if weather holds out. Can catch up later in Chaweng.

Don't think you will need sun cream today, like a bloody typhoon right now. Staying safe in room right now but things are flying around outside. Loads of water in our room, good use of our towels though...... Little one cuddling close, really scared of the noise of thunder.

Feeble excuses, it was you then lol Actually was in there tonight but left just before band came on due a complete drunk arseole who kept whistling at all the staff really loudly. He was a local expat who then proceeded to knock a girl's glass over much to her boyfriend's annoyance who got up to knock the guys block off before the waitresses all dived in. The party paid up and left, so did 2 other couples. The manager all this time is just sitting there doing nothing. I told the waitress if the manager doesn't act we were leaving. Even after the pissed guy got on the stage and took the mike from the singer and started singing the manager just stared. We checked bin and left. The band looked bemused, the crowd left numbered about 6 people including the pissed guy and his bits of fluff. Another guy when drunk who doesn't realise the damage they are doing, I will be surprised if he makes it home without a broken jaw.

This forum is ideal for tall people WTTB

Had a lovely day at the beach, took the little one in to the waves and she had a great time. The weather has got much better and so may go into Lamai tonight, there is a really good rock band at the Shamrock bar, female lead singer/guitar, well worth a revisit. Also if we do go back we are hoping to see Thai Spice (or his doppelganger) dancing again, thought it was him as the dance moves were so perfect, so precise. Everybody was watching and thinking this guy really has it sorted, I was envious. lol

I really like Richmond sausages, I buy them from Iceland, bootiful.

How long have you got, are you with children old or young, are you a beach person or like to see temples. Give us an idea of your ideal holiday and we can fill in the blanks for sure.

Tapas with a glass of white wine for lunch at my hotel, Crystal Bay Yacht Club on Koh Samui

Listening to the rain coming down, just having a beer on my villa veranda.

I have probably been on my lap top and phone more than usual but the weather in Koh Samui has not been kind to those of us wanting to be outside. I read to my little one every night although she does get on Porn's mobile more occasionally than I like when not much else to do. I did bring some books to read to her and thankfully she likes to play outside and have me read to her. I won't be buying her her own phone or tablet though.

Blimey my one is lucky to get a viewing of my mobile phone on occasions. No tablet till she is about 14 although no doubt school will introduce her to many media platforms before that.

Not necessarily the Ark bar but Koh Samui is definitely a good destination for a family with young children. Beach at Chaweng is perfect for sand castles.

Perfecting my Thai Spice dance moves at the Ark bar, Chaweng, Koh Samui. So far have only been pelted with one pair of Bridget Jones size pants, give it time, I am just warming up.

Ok, get Wa to message Porn when you guys ready to leave or pm me......in fact i will pm you my mobile number as well..

Yes I got down to see him. short visit in between document sorting.............had to have the steak and kidney pudding........wanted to get to Mai Tai but never did. Did see Phil at Le Pub as well. Was going to call John Luke and never got around to it but think he was in Bangkok going by his thread on the Bangkok Motor Show. Apologies to JL if I got that wrong. I will be back in middle of January.

I won't be drinking as much as last night, need to take it slowly today with the beers.

Was a good night but being an amateur we left early. Getting up at 4.30 am to get to Koh Samui was taking it's toll. Good night, plenty of orange around the bar, too much political chit chat but a great night anyway and then Chelsea put the icing on the cake for me and you.

About 4 pm you said or earlier?, let me know. I'll pay taxi if you sort it.....

Met up with the well groomed man last night, wasn't a hair out of place after a pretty good drinking session. Me I looked like I had been dragged through a hedge backwards....................

Ok. just seen this. It's piddling.......bloody English weather

Just arrived in my hotel in Koh Samui and it started pissing down with rain, luckily we were in room before the downpour. I have now just found time to get a few beers from the local Family Mart on the main road. Was quite a trek from Don Mueang to Nakhon Si Thammarat, to Donsak Pier to Lipa Pier and finally to Crystal Bay Yacht Club resort but worth it. Will be slumming it on Bangkok Airways next Saturday direct to Swampy.

Blimey been married 24 hours and the wife has already buggered off to see the family in deepest Bangkok. For me, it looks like a quick journey to Henry J Bean downstairs near the lobby although they don't do pies and I could really do with a pie, too much Thai food has been finding it's way down my gob. Won't drink too much as getting on a 6.50 am flight out of Don Muang.

Catch you on Saturday.......slumming it on Air Asia to Si Thamarat then bus and ferry. Hope to be in resort about 1pm.
