The best Italian on the island is further along chaewong in a little Boutique Hotel, right on the beach, but past all the beach bars. I think Koh Samui is a great place to go for a break.anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03100147959844300317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-87732435386175004112010-06-27T00:06:47.521+10:002010-06-27T00:06:47.521+10:004 second-hand balls for 100Bht in the club-house. ...4 second-hand balls for 100Bht in the club-house.

On for "five" and sank a 30ft putt!expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-76851374129814382862010-06-26T23:39:44.382+10:002010-06-26T23:39:44.382+10:00Good tip on the golf balls - I usually lose that m...Good tip on the golf balls - I usually lose that many on a normal round, and they only cost about Rp50,000 a pack here ... I won't tote any clubs on the plane, just a suitcase full of balls.markehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387629308058823374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-43782968512643898042010-06-26T23:00:52.897+10:002010-06-26T23:00:52.897+10:00These three restaurants were convenient for me, bu...These three restaurants were convenient for me, but there are heaps of other well-rated restaurants on the other beaches in Samui... mmm maybe we SHOULD do some gastronomy tourism!<br /><br />However there is only one golf course and it's a mother!expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-78937083640170153932010-06-26T18:41:30.801+10:002010-06-26T18:41:30.801+10:00Marke: I wouldn't go to Ko Samui just for gast...Marke: I wouldn't go to Ko Samui just for gastronomy tourism, but maybe it was just that I wasn't expecting such quality. And don't stay in the heart of Chawaeng as I did. I was last there in 2000 or so when they were first ripping up the old track in town to make the footpaths etc. one of the first buildings up was Burger King. :-( But don't worry there's plenty of poverty tourism around. Stay on one of the other beaches, and bring a lot of money for golf (and balls, I lost 12 in one round) - SGD$260!expat@largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01250623536121293636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26717801.post-78440502151566302582010-06-25T13:16:42.868+10:002010-06-25T13:16:42.868+10:00Damn!
