Happy New Year

Happy New Year to all of you.

Last year has generally been a rather quiet year. There has been too many political issues here in Thailand and one way or another, this has affected many businesses here in Samui.

Now this new year will be another challenging year. Last Christmas and this New Year was a wet year for us here. However our monsoon was very mild. We had only about 1 week's rain. Maybe that is why our new year has been a bit wet.

The weather looks to be clearing up now and for the last two days, we have had good sunshine.

There has been many changes to the nightlife scenes in Samui. Many bars have changed hands. Luckily for all of us, Viking Bar is still with the same owners..that is US. (ha ha ha).

If you have been in touch with us, you would also know that we have expanded to Choeng Mon last January. Time really flies because our Choeng Mon branch is now almost one year old!!!

Our BBQ nights in Choeng Mon has been very popular last year. And we hope to continue with it this year as well. Staffing has been extremely tough in Choeng Mon as this is an extremely quiet area. This is part of the reason why we cannot organize a regular BBQ night.
