Well…. Marc and Elke – on a belated honeymoon – have now left the shores of our sunny island, probably hunting for more firework shops in Bali!! lol We had a great time with them both, and us ‘big kids’ (ie: […]

Aleks and Sina first contacted us a while ago, and were planning to get married on Samui. They wanted a ‘D.I.Y.’ wedding, and so did an amazing job in organizing everything themselves… and there is a lot of […]

It was sad that we didn’t have more time with Christian and Melanie, particularly as we are so busy that it would have been great fun to work along-side them in choreographing/planning some of the numerous shoots […]

Last night was great fun! Marcel was having a birthday party with a few friends, and had bought some fireworks for the occassion. Initially Marcel and his friends were going to shoot the fireworks themselves, but […]

Jeffrey (see previous post) has been kind enough to send us a couple of pictures showing Siaw Lei (Jeffrey’s future wife!) posing next to the 2 bear Lancework set-pieces we created especially for them – at […]

And there is more to come!!! With a calender full of shoots there is a lot of planning to be getting on with! We are also looking forward to more ‘old friends’ coming to samui over the next couple of weeks… with […]

The last couple of weeks have been hectic (slight understatement there! lol), and there is little sign of it easing up for the next month or so at least! It’s all good news though – business-wise – so I am […]

Seems like snakes are ‘the thing’ at the moment! Last night a friend called me to come and collect a snake that his neighbour had caught in the garden. ‘What kind of snake is it?’ says I…. ‘A cobra’ says he! I […]

Brilliant! Another supplier of fireworks on Koh Samui has copied whole paragraphs from our website! He he… priceless!  lol… talk about ‘imitation being the best form of flattery’… really made my day

Great to hear from you again Marc! I bet you are counting down the days until your holiday back here on Samui! Never mind… it will be worth the wait… just think of all those lovely fireworks you are going to […]

2 days ago I got a call to deal with a snake that had been caught by a member of the public. All I knew was that it was a big snake (apparently nearly 3 metres long). Being that long meant that it was probably […]

Although not the ‘official’ Samui Rescue website ( click HERE to go to there), this site – in English – will contain a personal account of the day-to-day life of a Samui Rescue volunteer… and will – in all […]

By definition a lot of the posts on this site are going to be sad/troublesome/tragic etc, particularly when it involves a needless death, and an accident not too long ago is one of the few that – during my 5 years […]

A very big THANK YOU to the Sisters On Samui for donating a whopping 50,000 baht to Samui Rescue for much needed equipment. They are a fantastic group who give their time freely to raise money for worthy causes on […]

Not quite sure what is going on, but lately the Maenam area has been seeing more than its usual share of mayhem and madness – accident-wise that is!

It started a few days ago, when – in one period covering only […]

Hi Patrik… I hope you are looking forward to helping us out with your mum’s firework shoot! We will make you an ‘official’ temporary member of ‘Blue Team’ (the shooting team that is shooting for you). Get your […]

Samui is a great place to get married, as, despite the fact it is so built up compared to only 5 or so years ago, there are still some beautiful, quiet and romantic beaches here. Obviously others feel the same […]

I’m not really a Christmas person, and it is so weird to see everyone here dressing up with Santa hats, and wearing red and white! Even the staff at Tesco are dressed in Christmas gear! I prefer New Year… to me […]

La-on (‘Laarn’), myself, and the staff of both our firework shops would like to wish everyone – particularly our fellow ‘Pyro-nuts’! – the merriest of Christmases as well as the healthiest and happiest New […]
