Bravo Pizzeria and Pasta station, Bang Rak

Bravo Pizzeria and Pasta station in Bang Rak has closed since early 2012 and has opened under a new name and a new owner and this new place has consequently closed as well.

Fairly recently, about a month or so ago, a new pizzeria and pasta station opened in Bang Rak; Bravo (the name since has been changed into 'Bravissimo'). It's a shared venture between a very long standing Italian guy, Davide, who's been already more than 20 years on Samui and has earned his mark in the Italian restaurant industry on Samui together with a Hungarian partner, Silvia and her husband. Quality is guaranteed!

Bravo is located directly opposite Mermaids resort in Bang Rak or next to the Premier's Sport bar, you can't miss it.

Today I went together with my kids and they loved it! They finished a spaghetti with tuna between the two of them, which is a good feat!

The interior of Bravo is done very nice and warm, with charming chairs and the ambiance is very inviting and relaxing.

For starters I had a simple bread with tomatoes and basil and they were lovely, with olive oil and some garlic, even my daughter thought they were excellent.

As a main I had these cannelloni's with spinach and ricotta cheese fillings and I had the choice between 4 sauces; tomato, 4 cheese, pesto and another one I forgot. I went for the 4 cheese and it was lovely.

Definitely a place I will be seeing again and recommended when you're in the neighbourhood.

Yesterday was a grey and wet day. It rained through out the day but as in typical monsoon style, there were also sunny patches during the day. Max temp reached nonetheless 29.2C.

Today's weather;

Today is the birthday of the Kong of Thailand HM Bumibol Adulyadej. It's his 82nd birthday and I can only hope that he recovers quickly from his current illness.

Weatherwise, there's a nice blue sky with plenty of clouds in it but it looks like a dry day again. Current temp at 7am is 26.2C.

Yesterday saw a drizzle during most of the day with a couple of more serious watersheds, however, nothing too serious and no (flash)flooding as far as I know. Max temp reached 29C.

My current IDC is under way again, an update can be found on my dive blog.

Welcome to December 2009

Welcome to December 2009

Bring it on, December 2009, with all it's festivities, like HM The King's Birthday 5th December, for the Dutch; Sinterklaas 6th December, 10th December gives us Constitution Day in Thailand and by the 25th it's Christmas time again followed by New years Eve. Busy busy and lots of party opportunities.

Right now it looks like we will have a nice and dry first week of this month where usually it's typically very wet during the first 10 to 15 days in December.

It looks like a real busy month for me, with an IDC starting tomorrow and straight after that a mixture of Instructor level specialty training and an Assistant Instructor course, which will pretty much keep me busy until the end of the year!

A good December wished to all my readers and hope to see you soon in Samui.
