try the spa resort on the northern end of lamai been voted one of the top restaurants in the world

we stayed next to this resort & went in for a drink one night - it cost as much for a drink as we were paying for a full meal everywhere else!!
Several good restaurants along the hight street. On the last day we found a good dutch restaurant over the bridge at the end of the main street (you'll see what I mean when you get there). Where are you staying in Lamai?

shirley never said she wanted a cheap meal ,the food really is excellent at this resort

did you find any restaurants you liked Shirley?

Yes we did , there was a good choice there, not nearly as many as Chaweng but still plenty.
We liked a Thai place called Lilly House and Bauhaus was good also, while in Samui Fiona we took a trip up to your favourite Bophut fisherman's village I am glad to report that not too much has changed in the 2 years since we were last there - a couple of new restaurants but that's it.
Bophut is my fave spot in Samui and when we go back I will definately stay there, my favourite restaurant Happy Elephant is there.
I must admit that when we landed in Samui and caught a taxi I was horrified at the amount of building work taking place especially round the Big Buddha area - i hope they stop building soon as I think KS has the most beautiful coconut palms and if they don't stop cutting them down they will lose every trace of natural beauty there is left.

I had always imagined that one day the long road we had to go down from Fishermans Village to the hotel would be heaving with restaurants. Glad it isn't yet. I have been looking at property and found a lot of new builds in KS, many round Bophut which is alarming.
Thanks for restaurant names- I think it is handy for others to know.

Yes Fiona the North seems to be attracting many developers now, I hope they never knock down the fisherman's village because if they did I would not return to KS, are you thinking of going back?

we are thinking of maybe a few nights in Ko Phangan next year - just a thought at the moment but would like to try it.

yes we are thinking of going back- but like you, if they ruin fishermans village we would stop going.
