I managed to squeeze enough out of my credit card at the local Flight Centre to get onto the very next flight to Bangkok, with an immediate change over to Samui and a short ferry ride to Tongsala Koh Phangan.
I had just survived yet another bad attempt at suicide by binge drinking the week-end away at Caprice, in Camps Bay, Cape Town and was in bad shape. The idea was to check into a spa of sorts, detox, shed a couple of kilos and look forward to extending my life beyond 43. This however was not to happen.
Carrying my only possesions in a plastic Woolworths shopping bag, I took the long walk from the ferry down the Kho Phanga pier into Tongsala in the suffocating midday heat, to plan my next move and find somewhere to get my hands onto a frosty little friend. Down a side street I ambled, clutching my 'plastic', looking for indicators that would lead to quenching my thirst.

Opened in October of 2004, Arrow Bar in Seetanu is about 6 miles north of Thongsala on the coast road and is a pleasant change from the local bars and karaoke joints in the area by the very fact that the music doesn’t make you deaf and the prices are quite reasonable.
Arrow offers the usual selection of foods and drinks along with the ever more common pool table and a very nice complement of lively young ladies to either keep you company or play pool with.
It also seems to be the only bar locally to offer drinks all night which is great if you have been out partying and need a “hair of the dog” and some pleasant company. They also offer motorcycles for rent as well as petrol which is different from most bars. The islands first combined bar, motorcycle rental shop come gas station and lady bar. What next? Drop bye and try them out you are guaranteed a great welcome.
