With the international credit crunch and less than favorable exchange rates recently we have all been feeling the pinch. The residents of Koh Samui, a well as visitors to our island, are not spending like they used to and local businesses have to work increasingly harder to stay afloat. Customers today are looking for some serious value for their hard earned money and one place they can be sure to find it is Frogy Molly’s, the new Irish bar restaurant in Chaweng.

Owner Zealasa, originally from Malaysia, has a well thought out formula for success. Frogy Mollys is a large spotlessly clean bar and restaurant with a warm and inviting atmosphere. This bar is really attractive and the sandstone walls and wooden ceilings shout quality and style, the second you walk in and you can tell that more than a bit of care has been taken in this bars creation.

Frogy Mollys offers indoor dining as well as spacious outdoor terrace where you can sit and enjoy not only Irish, but authentic Thai and international food, as you watch the world go by, and in Chaweng there is always something interesting to look at.

This delightful bar restaurant has a vast ‘something for everyone’ menu that is incredibly affordable. Here the price really does not match the quality of the dishes but for all of the right reasons! One thing you will need when you dine at Frogy Molly’s is a healthy appetite; the portions are unexpectedly huge especially when you consider the price. 

The food at Frogy Molly’s is absolutely delicious and tastes so authentically Irish its hard to imagine that Chef Dakapan is Thai,, but then he has had ten years of culinary experience gained  both here and in Phuket. Dakapan certainly knows how to satisfy even the healthiest of appetites. For example the Frogy Molly’s Roast Beef served on an enormous place comes with two gigantic slices of the tenderest beef served with seasonal vegetables, three Yorkshire puddings, mouthwateringly delicious roast potatoes and the chef’s secret recipe gravy that must be tasted to be believed.

There is so much on the menu to choose from, breakfasts, baguettes, mixed grills, burgers, steaks, pies, pizza, fish and chips, lasagna and a fine list of house specials such as Zila Charming, a special secret curry of either beef or chicken served with roti and Molly spring rolls that are packed with fresh shrimp and mint.

It is not only the food that represents excellent value in Frogy Molly’s; there are specials on local and imported beers and cocktails every night of the week. The in house bands plays every night and if you fancy yourself as a bit of an entertainer then feel free to join in, anything goes in this fun and friendly venue. 

Frogy Molly’s is managed and run by Thanatchai who has 17 years of experience running Irish bars in Koh Samui as well as in  Pattaya, Phuket and Bangkok. His experience has taught him to listen hard to his customers needs he and his friendly team of staff are very open to your suggestions and are enjoying creating the ‘has it all’ bar and restaurant that will undoubtedly enjoy great success.

There is already very little missing here with incredibly good value food and drinks, a superb live band, big screens to enjoy televised sporting events, warm, attractive and comfortable surroundings and free Wifi but there is still more to come. Future plans include the opening of a second floor lounge that will offer specialty teas and coffee that can be enjoyed in comfortable and relaxing surroundings and there is soon to be a pool table where you enjoy a friendly game or take part in regularly held competitions.

Whether you are looking for a great breakfast, a hearty lunch or evening meal, a place to sit back and relax with an ice cold beer or some lively evening entertainment in a fun venue that also welcomes children Frogy Molly’s will not fail to disappoint without hurting your pocket.

Frogy Molly’s is open from 9am until 2am and can be found close to the Library Resort in the heart of Chaweng.
