Samui Ex Servicemen March Get Together at Full Moon Bungalows

Tuesday the 25th of March saw the get together of Samui Ex Servicemen at the Full Moon Bungalows in Bang Rak.

Our thanks go to Paul the owner of the Full Moon Bungalows in Bang Rak on Koh Samui for his hospitality and Big Joes Food for providing some great Ribs and Sausages.

This month we had representatives from the Army, Air Force and for the first time a couple of new faces from the Navy helping to complete the group.

Much beer was consumed and stories told about times gone by and I believe many of the Ex Servicemen suffered the next day!!

We shall be meeting again on Tuesday the 29th April, 4:30pm at Le Chablis Resort in Chaweng. If you are an Ex Serviceman living on Koh Samui or a visiting member of the services please call in and enjoy the banter.

Hope to see you there.

Samui Ex Servicemen Social Afternoons

Initially conceived by Bob Keen the distributor of the finest ales on Koh Samui was the idea of ex servicemen getting together once a month for a social afternoon.

After speaking to a few ex servicemen on the Island a get together was arranged at the Elephant & Castle in Bang Rak on Tuesday the 29th of January 2008 at 4:30 pm.

In all five people met at The Elephant & Castle, who did us proud with a fine selection of Bar Snacks. We had a discussion and decided that although it was not the greatest turn out it was a start and we should arrange to meet the last Tuesday of February, 4:30 pm at The Red Fox located on Walking Street in Lamai. We then convened at the Bar and consumed some fine Ale.

One Month later on, the 26th February at 4:30 pm, we had a turnout of eleven ex servicemen at The Red Fox Bar in Lamai, also the home of H3 on Koh Samui. The new arrivals were welcomed and introduced and it was agreed that in general this was a good idea. We were treated to some fine broth supplied by The Red Fox Bar, Thank you.

So the next get together was arranged for Tuesday the 25th March 2008 at the Full Moon Bungalows in Bang Rak. (Note this is a revised venue) There will be a presentation regarding health insurance at this get together. All ex servicemen are welcome to come along, chew the fat and drink some beer or whatever is your poison.

See you then.
