Koh Samui

[Pistolpete76]

Hi,

I am planing a trip to Koh Samui the coming March. What is the better place to stay? Chaweng or Lamai? I am looking for a nice beach during the day, but also some good choice of bars and girls in the evening. Please also give me some recommandations for hotels in Chaweng or Lamai. My favorite at the moment is the Wanta Resort in Lamai.

Thanks for your opinion!

Thanks for all the hints and tips about those massage parlours, didn't really think about getting a good time at one until reading about them on here, I know what I'm doing tommorow! Hehe

Hi all, just stumbled on these forums whilst 'doing my homework. ' Anyhows, I am currently staying in Koh Samui, really loving the place. Went to Phuket for a couple of nights, did not like the place at all. The place is swarmimg with tourists / farang, so came back to samui. I would recommend hiring a scooter as others have stated, and yes be careful on the roads, its not unusal for a pickup to coming towards you on your side of the road, or for stray dogs to come out of nowhere in the night! I have been staying in lipa noi, about a 40 minute ride to lamai, its kinda far, but nice tl get away frlm the crazymess when you want, and you can go get rowdy when you want. The girls are awesome! They all fall in love with me, or is it my baht, haha. I likw the girls from the lamai area beer bars, they don't mind a ride on the back of my scooter, I give them 1000bt and 200bt for a taxi, I kimd of have to kick them out around lunch, or they would never leave. Havnt really had much luck in chaweng, but I don't like chaweng, too many young tourists going bananas! I guess I'm getting older haha. The power crisis is all good now, big generator trucks all over the show, so no problem. Have fun guys.

Pay attention to the whether (rain chart) , or you might be locked in your room.

That would be an awful punishment, locked in a room with those ladies!

Samui is the best place left in Thailand for P4P while in all other places the story is over!

But even is Samui they are not happy to have sex for longer time. (Regardless of the money you pay)

Someone here says LT should be B1000 but in my view that is too low, unless the girl agreed to it beforehand. ST should be B1000, LT is B1500. Less than Pattaya and much less than BKK.

WHAT WHAT WHAT?

Pattaya should be (and mostly always has been for me) ST500 / LT1000 +barfine (if that's a BB girl) , BKK = 1, 5-2 times more, Samui = same same as Pattaya (not talking 'about the overpriced go-go girls)

You are a moron know nothing.

Thank you for just confirming everything I said and in the same post saying I know nothing.

I live here, and have done so for the time we are discussing. You on the other hand are an older american tourist on a hiv-hunt. So who's the moron here?

[Luvpuss]

Bullshit.

Until this story (which is resolved) it hadn't been down for 2 days straight in the last 2 years.

I agree. Apart this, when there is a shortage is for a sort of limited amount of time as one-two hours.

Obviously, and there is no surprise that this breakdown would occur sooner or later since they've been running at 140% of the capacity for several years.

Now that it's been fixed they're adding another line which is said to be finished in March so hopefully safe until then when things should be np.

I left Samui yesterday. It really sucks there, without power. Higher end restaurants, bars and clubs have generators, but most of the beer bars are candle lit or just empty and a lot of stores are closed. A lot of hotels don't have generators either, so the guests are getting water hours to shower etc. My hotel had not too many guests and had full power from their generator. I talked to many people that were complaining about not being able to sleep with no air con.

Yeah, was told by my friend who has a bar in Samui. He has a energy or and plans to get a bigger one, but if there is shortage of fuel then it gets into Catch 22.

Sometimes they go 2 or 3 days without power in KS. I had one full day of it after a bad rain last year.

The infrastructure of the place just has not caught up to the demand.

I am told from people there that one of the submarine cables feeding electric power to the island is damaged and can't supply. As a consquence there are substantial power cuts and electricity is supplied only for a short amount of hours here and there (probably under an emergency plan)

People has home generators but also fuel supply is at a shortage as gas stations can't function properly. Might take a week or so before it is all restored.

I cna imagine the whole industry based on "cold" (and in a tropical island very small is left not need cold) is suffering, not to mention where electric power is needed to run anything.
