Aleks and Sina first contacted us a while…

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 paper-work involved! Apart from that, the paper-work then has to get translated into Thai, and then taken to a million different offices to get official stamps on it… not an easy task for the feint-hearted!

Everything was sorted out by the time they both got to Koh Samui, and we duly carted them both off to the ‘Town Hall’ on Samui to present their paperwork and get that very special wedding certificate.

Well… that was the plan anyway! Unfortunately there was a bit of confusion when they were getting the completed paperwork in Bangkok, and they left the office (thinking everything was done) before they were given the ‘official’ (ie: stamped) copies of all their documents! All they had when they came to Samui were un-stamped photocopies of their documents!!! Oh Dear!!

Of course, the officials on Samui couldn’t accept the documents without the official stamps, so Aleks and Sina could’t get married… and… to compound things, they only had 48 hours left to collect the officially stamped documents from Bangkok!

Well… to cut a long story short… La-on asked one of her friends living in Bangkok to whizz around to the various offices and collect the official documents on their behalf, and – after a seriously busy day taxi’ing around Bangkok and greasing the appropriate palms, June (La-on’s friend in Bangkok) finally managed to get everything sorted and sent to Samui… Just in time!

So… happy ending and big smiles all around… and Aleks and Sina will never forget their wedding on Samui… complete with all the drama! lol

It was great to be able to help them ‘Tie the knot’, and we all had a great time celebrating their special day… with lots of beer being drunk, and lots of photographs taken! I have put only a few of them below….

CONGRATULATIONS ALEKS AND SINA!!! It really was great to meet you both, and I hope that our paths will cross again soon. La-on and I would like to wish you both the happiest of futures together, and hope that your love for each other never fades.

Aleks and Sina with their coveted marriage certificate!

Fireworks are dangerous, and there is no room for arrogance and big egos. So… who CAN you trust? Koh Samui’s original pyro-experts… Koh Samui’s true pyro-professionals…

The Firework Shop, that’s who!

No bullshit, no big egos, no arrogance… just the safest, most exciting, and best value fireworks and firework displays on Koh Samui… shot by a trained and experienced professional-minded staff team.

The Firework Shop for Safety- Quality – Service

What a great week it’s been for all of The Firework Shop’s 3 shooting teams! They have been kept busy this week, with a total of 6 shoots… and it’s not finished yet, as we have 3 more bookings over the next 3 days before a ’rest’ of 2 days! Tonight’s shoot was spectacular, with ’Blue Team’ excelling themselves, putting on a fantastic show for a wedding party. It makes me proud to see them work so well as a team… very professional, checking each other’s work, and putting safety first. ’Nu’ – Blue Team leader, had planned the show beautifully, mixing multi-shot repeaters with contrasting mortars of various sizes – ranging from 3 inch diameter up to 10 inch diameter. The clients were so pleased that they gave 5,000 baht as a tip to the shooting team (5 in the team, so a nice 1,000 extra – on top of their wage!)… needless to say they were delighted! This is the biggest tip ever given to any of our teams… very generous indeed.
I am really happy with our black mortar tubes – made to our higher specs, and much safer than most of the generally available orange fibre tubes. I have some photos of a couple of orange tubes which were demolished during a shoot done by a friend… very scary! Of course, I am sure that not all suppliers of orange tubes ’skimp’ on quality, but it goes to show that it is worth checking the quality of fibre tubes before buying them, and not just going for the cheaper option, in an effort to ’cut down overheads’. The Firework Shop has not – and never will – compromise the safety of our clients or staff… which is why we are the best on Koh Samui of course!

Brilliant Another supplier of fireworks on Koh Samui…

New branch in Lamai, Koh Samui

Mr.b — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 02:27:23 +0000

‘The Firework Shop’ in Lem Hoy (Bantai) has been a recognisable feature on Koh Samui for years, with firework enthusiasts coming on holiday to Koh Samui – from all over the world – just to visit the shop and sample the delights of a ‘Pyrotechnic Experience’.

Until recently, ‘The Firework Shop’ in Lem Hoy stood alone as the island’s only professional suppliers of safe, top-quality fireworks and firework displays… no longer is that true!

Why?… Because now ‘The Firework Shop’ has opened another branch in Lamai! (see ‘Contact’ page for location details of both shops).

So now – no matter where you are on Koh Samui – you are never going to be too far away from a supply of top-quality Chinese and Thai fireworks that will have you grinning with excitement!
