Hi, we'd like to let everyone know about Siam1fm, on FM100 Mhz in Patong (until Jan 08 when it will be available isalnd wide) and streaming online from Phuket's only English language radio station... from anywhere anywhere in the world.

It is Phuket's first proper English language radio station, with native speaking DJ's and a wide variety of new and old music picked by people and not the random button on winamp.

The first live show is 'The All Day Breakfast Show' every morning from 8 - 11 am Monday to Friday. Far too early for most board members so we repeat it at 3 pm - 6, hence the 'All Day' bit. We will roll out more live shows in the next few weeks.

It remains to be seen whether our little island can support a commercial station but we are giving it our best shot and we hope you will enoy what we are doing.

We welcome constructive criticism and are very well disposed to having the local community involved. Submit any odeas to us via the forum or directly to our email from the website.

We have climbed a huge mountain to get this far and we appreciate any encouragement and support you can give us. It ain't gonna be perfect from the launch, but it is already quite a bit better than rubbish.

The station is aimed at the tourist and expat market and advertising rates are available from the website Phuket's only English language radio station....

Get back into the radio habit with 1FM.

Nice one guys, respect for getting this off the ground. Have been tuned into the show for a few days now and enjoy the banter/polls you broadcast. The only thing I would say could be better is if you played more music. On a 30 min drive around Patong I hear only 2 or 3 tracks.

We hear what you are saying soupdragon, will take it into consideration. After the breakfast show we do have an hour of only music and this will extend to two hours with tourism info content when the full format is in place.

Thanks for the kind words and encouragement. getting the license was a challenege enough, but we're here now.
