  1. I found it much better to book online from uk airport (lhr) to koh samui (usm) via Bangkok (bkk). This way i didn't have to clear immigration at Bangkok which can sometimes take an hour or more, instead i cleared at Koh Samui 2 mins. Iwaved goodbye to my luggage at heathrow and collected it at Samui. No stress and no hauling luggage around bkk.
  2. Just recieved email from Sabai lodge stating that they now have security camera installed but no mention as to if the thief has been caught.
  3. To answer P.Gs comments. I did not get the police involved because as i said before, i have stayed there before many times and have always been treated with the utmost kindness from the staff. They are always friendly, polite and helpfull. I reported it to reception in the morning hoping they could sort the matter internally. It is worth noting that after 11pm the reception is staffed by males only. Could be one of them look at guests coming back and asking for their door key, looking like they've been drinking, and could be easy prey. As i said, another guest made a similar report of someone opening their door during the night which seems to point at a member of staff with access to a master key. Just a bit dissapointed that i have heard nothing from the hotel since, not even an appology.
  4. In answer to cheshire tom's remarks, yes i had a drink but not really pissed because i had to get up early the next morning for a fishing trip, also the doors at the sabai wing do not have the push button on the inside handle. When the door closes it is automatically locked.
  5. Thanks for the welcolme. No they took my digital camera and around 1500 Baht that was in the pocket of my shorts. My stash and passport, credit cards e.t.c were in the safe. Funny though, they didn't go for my phone which was on charge next to my bed. Perhaps it's because i'm 6'2" and the theiving little sod was scared that i might wake up and be within grabbing distance.
  6. I have stayed at the sabai lodge wing on many occasions and have always enjoyed a pleasant, helpfull and friendly atmosphere. On my last trip in July however my room was entered and belongings stolen whilst i slept. I must point out at this stage that i was alone and did not have a lady in my room. I informed the staff at reception the next morning who rather incredulessly told me that it was impossible and that it had never happened before. The next morning at breakfast a member of staff informed me that another guest had reported that someone had opened their door with a key but had not managed to get in because the chain was on the door(something that i foolishly omited to do} It is obvious that a member of staff was involved in this as a master key was being used. I have not heard anything from the hotel since this occured and therefore can't say wether or not the culprit is still at large. It is a great pity that i feel i cannot stay there anymore because of this one isolated incident but even if i were to put the chain on the door during the night, whats to stop them using the master key and getting in during the day. You can't put the chain on the door when you go out for the day. Anyone recomend a good Hotel for my trip inSeptember?
