Double Dutch, a slightly different memory of Samui

Double Dutch, a slightly different memory of Samui

Two Dutch friends of us run since a few years a shop inside the Big Buddha complex and since recently also at the parking lot of Hin Ta Hin Yai in Lamai.

What they offer inside their shops is a friendly atmosphere where you can find some out of the usual trodden path souvenirs, mainly in the form of various sized Buddha statues in wood or bronze.

Their newly opened shop in Lamai has some very atmospheric lightning design and makes the shop appear very pleasantly. Many contemporary Asian art designs can be purchased here besides an wide variety of Buddha statues and figurines.

They offer any size statue, from very small to rather big and their prices are very gentle and competitive. Kees runs the shop in Lamai and Hans rules over Big Buddha.

This is at the entrance of their Big Buddha store, their original store. Many of their ideas were blatantly taken over by their neighbours and copies of their shop can be found all over the Big Buddha area.

A view on their Big Buddha store, with a little sitting area/bar (non alcoholic drinks only) with a neat sitting area outside where I took the picture.

If you're looking for a souvenir or something out of the ordinary, Double Dutch is a good place to have look at and enjoy their display.
