Im screwed then Just booked 5 nights here http://www.phangancottage.com prices go up crazy amounts over fmp dates... We stayed next to this place! It was being built at the time so they should be very nice! Make sure you go to the English pub before you head down to the full moon party! Very good food that will set you up for the night/morning! We spent a month in total on Koh Samui! Far far too long but we spent 2 weeks there with my brothers for Xmas and new year. Nicky beach is a very cool bar on the south coast. Dr Frogs restaurant done amazing food and we nailed the cocktail menu....that was a good night .........I'm going to have a guess that you're staying near Chaweng? That place is mental with 24hr bars! Make sure you keep an eye on the kids walking around at night with games asking to challenge you, one took money from my pocket but I caught him and flipped! They are very good thief's! One thing above all that you will never forget.....Sang som buckets!! Woooohmamma! I'll say no more

Still up for grabs

$1,000,000,000 Mwwwhhahahaha!! Sorry, couldn't resist that! Ermmm, anyone know the ins and outs of international shipping?

Ohhhh yes!! Done a pre full moon party and a full moon. My girlfriend and I went December 2009. We stayed well away from Haad rin as its pretty dodgy (thief's operate in this area) and accommodation isn't good! You can stay pretty much anywhere on the island and get back and forth. Taxi's are everywhere! I will give you a very good bit of advice for when you are partying. When you go to buy your drinks (Buckets) from one of the 10,000 drink huts, get them to give you the bottles and poor it yourself! I caught them swapping a bottle of Bacardi for something else and they are all doing it!! please trust me on this! It spoilt the night when i caught them doing it because I couldnt trust anyone making drinks! Its one hell of an experience though!! You will love it! Stay away from the flaming skipping rope too!! Seen some nasty wounds pottering about! Thanks for the tips...but i think a flaming rope will be too enticing when im trollyed : Would you suggest staying towards the upper end of the island? We stayed in Ban Tai. close to the B52 resort. Cant remember the name of our accommodation.....something bungalows? Wasnt the best but it had a cool bar and it was cheap. It was known for travelers. You have a better chance of getting accommodation up that way and its generally safer. You wont struggle to get transport to and from the FMP. If you are there for a few days, I would recommend you going to a pre full moon party too! We had a better night at the pre! This is bringing back so many awesome memories!! I cant believe how utterly mental and incredible the FMP is!! I want to go back!! I would also recommend the flaming rope! if i hadn't been with my GF, i would have been all over it!

I would strongly recommend you ignore this advice! Stick to the foam party!

Oh yeah, if you stay on Koh pangnhan, there is an English pub there! They do the best Sunday dinner ever!! and they sell Magners!! I am so jealous now!!!

I have Family in Sheffield mate and will get them to ask a few questions in the area, where abouts in sheff was you working? I went up not long ago and within half an hour i got broke into and the cops didnt want to know. Sorry for your misfortune but all sheffielders aint bad just the scummy druggies Thanks Dave mate, I'd appreciate that. It happened on a lane called Lightwood lane, just off Norton Rd. Funny you should say that about the police because just after I phoned them, I asked if they were going to send anyone and they said that it was pointless as there were no witness's or cctv! Good attitude to have!! I'm trying my best not to generalise everyone from Sheffield but finding it hard as that was my first visit to Sheffield

So what happen's if the SIM is changed before its powered back on? ........................... I'm going by the premiss that you can track the iPad whilst its sleeping. If they were clever enough to power it down straight away and have the little tool to get the sim out, then they clearly know what they are doing and there's sweet f a I can do about it. Its a good point and I never thought about that!

I have checked the locate app and I have sent it a remote wipe but because its the wifi model, it has to be connected to the Internet for me to find it. As it stands, they haven't connected it to the Internet yet. I would know if they had because I would be sent an email. A mistake I have not made twice, my new iPad is the 3G model!!

I have been watching the news Stew to see if there has been any report of anyone passing a pineapple in the Sheffield area!

Yeah trying my best not to think about it now.......my new iMac and 3G ipad is cushioning the blow ever so slightly... Sorry John buddy, I swear i replied to your message!! I'm going to Greece on Sunday for my mates wedding (bell end) so i wont be back until the 3rd Anyways, hopefully i'll attend the next one with a golf GTI rather than a sh**ty polo!

Thanks John buddy. I feel like I've lost a limb! I keep on realising different things like the fact that I've lost 4500 photos and cant get them back (My back up hard drive was taken too). Gutted

Hope you get it sorted soon Dave mate!!

+1 on if you steal something then you loose a hand....... trouble is the honest tax payer would just end up paying more for handless scum to watch sky all day I'd be happy to contribute to something that would keep these f**k bags off the streets. If that means they get to sit in front of the box and watch Jeremy kyle all day, so be it! At least I wouldnt have to worry about my stuff being robbed!

Well I'm all for the cutting off of thief's hands! Will put an end to it wouldn't it! That's a good point Rich, You shouldn't have to worry about leaving things in your car! What a pathetic society we live in. Really winds me up! Doogy, I wish i had thought of that a week ago! Knobglassing!??

indeed... that little lot adds up to a couple of grand there chris, i'm sorry you got done like that. life is a bitch sometimes Thanks Rich mate. I suppose its just a very expensive lesson to be learned.

indeed...

I opted out for personal belongings insurance because they wanted to double the price.... looks like it could be worth it!

Working up in Sheffield last Friday, popped out of the works van for half an hour, come back and the driver window was smashed. Macbook pro, iPad2, tomtom and a few other little things gone!!!! Because I was in a rental van, my insurance did not cover the contents and I didn't take out extra insurance from the rental company. Oh, and i had to pay for the damage to the van (£600+). Not a good week for me! Anyone up that way hear anything, I would appreciate any news.

I can't quite tell the extent of the damage from the picture but if it's no worse than a bad curb scrape it shouldn't cost anywhere near any quote you have had! A local garage damaged my GTR alloys really badly when changing the tires. I took the two of them to a garage in London (where my brother has his wheels refurbed) and they where unreal! Amazing job and it cost me £55 per wheel. The color on the GTR's are quite a hard one to match too! If you are interested in this garage, let me know and I'll get the details for you

Verbal diarrhoea??

This made me lol!

IHYSFDOTK = I hope you simulated falling dead on the keyboard!?
