    Plenty of long distance sailors around also. This massive yacht was from New Zealand.

    Loved this sign as no bugger wears a helmet anyway. Gives the cops a great way of getting tea money at the end of the month.

    Maenam beach. Still holding its own up against the mad houses of Lamai and Chawang.

    This is no spam and others have done great reviews on the place before.

    I stayed here based on a recommendation from TD and the review was spot on.

    Thre two things that are not shown are the great breeze that you get in that bar/restaurant, and the cheerful generosity of Gus and his staff.

    I go to Lamai for the odd social event and always stay at Gus' place. He and his charming lady are always helpful and welcoming.

    Nice review Terry.

    Do Beatles in Thailand have air con? I had one in Chicago that had no air or a heater. Was only fun to drive about 12 days out of the year

    Heard it's lovely, haven't been to Samui in 5 years, and that was only for a few days.

    Looking forward to heading down to Gus G's gaff sometime soon.

    Thanks for the thread Terry, great stuff!

    You wait till you see my new double wide-screen set-up,makes this one look very sad. All bells and whistles. I've got a new chair too,(my back loves it).

    Bye the way, I don't do spam, But if these lads come down here and like the setup, and want to to give me some brownie points, what's the harm.

    Cheers Chas I'll see you next time you are down this end of the island.

    Young Scampy has called in here last 2 days for a feed and a few drinks, and in contrast to the popular opinion, yes he does pay his own way.

    And yes Nawty you did win a free stay here, so get your arse out of Survivorland and bring your family down here for a visit.
    Thanks guys.

    Alright, here's a picture from gus's restaurant showing the great views and sea breezes. No spam here Crazy Dog, just straight up reviews of a good Aussie that provides quality digs at a great price and also provides prizes on Teakdoor for good will and betterment of the forum. Give it a crack matey.

    He's 5 mins down the road, but I am too drunk to drive, do you know how long I have spent making sure the spelling is okay on this post? - without Gus I would be anorexic, best breakfast in Samui, and if you have the willpower to not have the breakfast and try something else then the pork chops, mash and al dente veg are a godsend.

    Full review when sober.

    I've decided to adopt the best room there, up the top with the full size window. I've got a monthly rate of 25000 baht which includes water and electric, bloody good deal for this Island as good accommodation ain't cheap. Any other room is bought for 20,000 but considering I'm only there for 6 weeks this time I opted to be a capitalist bastard.

    I'm perving out my window. This cat cleans the beach every morning, the eye candy is usually much better than looking at this fella.

    Looking across to the pier. This year has been a good time to visit Thailand because of the lack of tourists.

    Well worth the extra baht to have the top front room with the large window. Going rate for this room in season is 1800 baht a night. Lucky I got contacts.

    The restaurant for the complex is run by DA and her family. They had piss all when I first met them back in 89 and now there flush with Baht thanks to the boom in diving tourism and scanky backpackers.
