Sisters On Samui

🎶✨ The power of community, music, and giving back. ✨🎶

One of the proudest moments from Samui Summer Jazz 2026 came to life this week as the musical instruments funded through our charity initiative officially found their new home at Baan Angthong School, Koh Samui. ❤️🎵

Thanks to the incredible support of our partners , , our sponsors, volunteers, musicians, and everyone who attended Samui Summer Jazz, we were able to provide students with new instruments including a keyboard, drum kit, electric guitar, amplifiers, marching drums, and cymbals (valued THB 78,000).

Seeing the students perform with such joy and enthusiasm reminded us why community support matters. Music is more than just notes and melodies. It builds confidence, creativity, discipline, and opportunities for young people to discover their potential. 🎼✨

At Sisters on Samui, we believe every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and dream bigger.

Thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. Together, we are creating meaningful impact, one child and one note at a time. 💛🙏🏼

📚 You're Invited to a Very Special Book Launch on Koh Samui 📚

Some people quietly become part of the fabric of our island community, and Marianne Chirathivat is certainly one of them.

A long-time Samui resident and someone who has contributed so much to our local community over the years, Marianne is now sharing her remarkable life story in her newly published memoir:

"It Must Have Been Love – Struggling a Bit When West Meets East"

Based on her personal diaries, the book tells the fascinating true story of a young woman from Bristol who unexpectedly fell in love with a Thai student in the late 1960s. What followed was a journey across continents, cultures, family expectations, and a lifetime of adventures that eventually led her to Thailand.

Filled with warmth, humour, honesty, and insight, Marianne's story offers a unique glimpse into life, love, and cultural differences during a rapidly changing period in history.

📅 Book Launch Tuesday 9th June 📍 The Book Nook, Lamai ⏰ 1pm - 4pm.

This event is also a wonderful opportunity to celebrate another special addition to our island community — Book Nook Samui , created by Katie.

In a world dominated by screens and scrolling, Katie has created something Koh Samui has been missing: a place dedicated to real books, real conversations, and real community.
