    Description

    Single father, I am French living with Marlene, my 8y old daughter (half French half Hong Kongese) and Elsa, our 1 year lovely female dog, in our house in Koh Samui in the middle of nature. We moved here in summer 2022 from Hong Kong. I have been working in finance in Tokyo and Hong Kong, and then run my own business (French Roast Chicken Takeaway) in Hong Kong for almost 10 years.

    Help

    Marlene, Elsa and myself are always looking for someone (or couple) to stay in the studio downstairs our house (you get your own private terrace with access to the swimming pool).
    We dont need much help, but there is always bit of gardening to do, some small things to be fixed, dog sitting if we are going away for few days, some small (or big hehe) DIY project... We are open to more artistic vibe too to decorate house, terrace or garden...
    Elsa, our dog is well behaving yound dog, turning 1 year old soon!
    Since we dont need much work to be done and to make it easy for everyone we only offer accomodation. There is a kitchen in the studio so you can always cook for your self if needed. We are in Thailand, it is often cheaper to eat outside, and it is also always nice if we can arrange cooking for all of us of course :)

    Message me if you have any question!

    Our house is located in a very quiet area in Lamai and has an independant studio downstairs with kitchen, washing machine and its own terrace. You can use our own swimming pool too.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We suggest travelers in Samui to rent their own scooter (around 200 to 300 baht / day) to be able to visit the whole island easily. There are plenty of different places to enjoy, either seaside or jungle/mountains.
