Pro Wrestling's Master Of The Five Count: King Kong Bundy
Posted on June 21, 2016 by bloodlinematt
When you think of the big men of Pro Wrestling, names like Andre The Giant, Big John Studd, Big Van Vader, Haystacks Calhoun, Kevin Nash, One Man Gang and a small amount of others come to mind, but at the top of that list for any old school wrestling fan has to be the one and only King Kong Bundy! The walking condominium, as Gorilla Monsoon use to call him, has made his mark in the WWF and independent scene throughout the 80's and 90's and was one of the sport's most hated bad guys as his feuds with the likes of Hulk Hogan, Hillbilly Jim and The Undertaker encouraged boos from fans worldwide. For this update, we will take a look at TLW Productions comic based on King Kong Bundy as well as the man himself and his career. So lace up your boots and make sure your tights are on right as we step into the ring with the master of the five count, the man who delivers the most brutal avalanche splash to anyone in his way, the legend of pro wrestling's big men King Kong Bundy who was billed as weighing 458 pounds!
Christopher Alan Pallies was born on November 7, 1957 in Atlantic City, New Jersey and did not start his wrestling career until 1981 when he began working for World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) where he was named Big Daddy Bundy and would wear a rope belt to hold up his blue jean pants. He was a fan favorite who was friends with the Von Erich Family, that was until a dispute broke up the friendship and Bundy began to be managed by Gary Hart and started to wear his signature black singlet and changed his name from Big Daddy to King Kong and went from good to bad in a blink of an eye! During the feud he would loose his hair in a match that would lead to Bundy's final transformation into a monster heel. In 1982, King Kong Bundy was selected to be the final opponent for Fritz Von Erich who was Texas's most iconic wrestler and the owner of World Class. Bundy would travel after leaving World Class and wrestle for the AWA, NWA, Japan and Mid-South where he would start his 5 count request to add heat from fans during matches against jobbers and fan favorites. In 1985, King Kong Bundy would sign to World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and be pushed as a giant heel that was managed by Jimmy Hart and would go to the first WrestleMania and defeat veteran S.D. Jones in nine seconds! In late 1985, Jimmy Hart traded King Kong Bundy's contract to Bobby "The Brain" Heenan for both The Missing Link and Adrian Adonis as Heenan wanted Bundy for his stable called The Heenan Family. Bundy began a feud with Andre The Giant that became so heated that Bundy broke Andre's sternum after a series of massive big splashes. This lead to many matches finally settling in a match called "The Colossal Jostle" that saw Andre beating Bundy all during the match until Bundy was saved by fellow Heenan Family member Big John Studd. His next feud was with WWF World Champion Hulk Hogan after Bundy once more used his weight to crush Hogan giving him bruised ribs. They settled the war in a steel cage at WrestleMania II where Hogan defeated his massive opponent. Bundy's next major fight would come at WrestleMania III where Bundy along with midget wrestlers Lord Littlebrook and Little Tokyo took on Hillbilly Jim and his partners Little Beaver and Haiti Kid. The match would have Bundy and his team losing by disqualification after Bundy body slammed and elbowed Little Beaver causing his own team to even turn on him! In 1987 on an episode of Saturday Night's Main Event, Bundy would beat Hulk Hogan via count out, but by the rematch in 1988 on the next Saturday Night's Main Event special, Hogan would beat Bundy. This also marked the end of Bundy's in WWF. During this run, Bundy was able to feud with wrestling's top two stars with Hulk Hogan and Andre The Giant and was a part of the major boom of pro wrestling in the 80's, Love him or hate him, King Kong Bundy helped put butts in the seats and delivered some fun and entertaining matches.
After leaving pro wrestling behind for about six years, King Kong Bundy would return as part of Ted DiBiase's group called "The Million Dollar Corporation" alongside other wrestlers like Irwin R. Schyster, Bam Bam Bigelow, Tatanka and The Fake Undertaker. His first Pay-Per View match was at Survivor Series where The Million Dollar Team beat the Guts And Glory Team lead by Lex Luger, with Bundy and Bigelow being the only survivors. Bundy would be in the 1995 Royal Rumble, coming in at # 15 and only lasting three minutes after being tossed out by Mabel. After floating around and doing the dirty work of The Million Dollar Corporation, his final WrestleMania was XI where he was defeated by The Undertaker and became number four of the Streak. Bundy's second and final run in the WWF came to an end in late 1995. While his second run was not as impactful, it did introduce him to a new generation of wrestling fans, and he did a great job of putting over younger talent and will forever be on the books for losing to The Undertaker at WrestleMania and become a notch on the legendary Streak.
After leaving WWF in 1995, Bundy started working for independent promotions and became an attraction wherever he went! He wrestled for such promotions as USA Power Pro Wrestling, USWF, JCW and NBW, and while at an independent show facing Primo Canera III, the ring broke after he delivered a Bundy Splash! On October 10, 1999 for the Heroes Of Wrestling PPV, King Kong Bundy teamed with Jim Neidhart to defeat Jake "The Snake" Roberts and Yokozuna in an impromptu to tag match after Roberts was in no shape to wrestle. Bundy and Yokozuna came out to try and save the match from stinking up the place. During this independent run, Bundy would feud with the likes of Koszmar Polski, "Superfly" Jimmy Snuka, Tom Brandi and Doink The Clown. While slowing down nowadays, you can still find Bundy from time to time at wrestling conventions as well as comic and horror ones! At the age of 58, the idea of his return to WWE or even wrestling for TNA is very doubtful, but one thing is for sure, the master of the five count could still pin many of the worlds wrestling stars.
On March 1, 1986 on the fifth Saturday Night's Main Event special Hulk Hogan was defending his WWF Championship against The Magnificent Don Muraco when King Kong Bundy interfered in the match causing Hogan to win by disqualification, but this also lead to Bundy crushing Hogan's ribs and causing the champ some major pain and forcing him to be carried away on a stretcher. This was one of the classic wrestling moments that stuck with me as Hogan was the Real American and the ultimate baby face in wrestling, and watching him get crushed was shocking! This moment lead to the Steel Cage Match at WrestleMania II, where, for the first time, kids of the 80's truly thought that Hogan could lose the WWF Title. I mean Hogan was going in the match with taped up ribs, and Bundy not only had the weight advantage but also had that weasel Bobby Heenan in his corner. It was as if Hogan had the odds against him! Not to mention Bundy was on a 300 win streak that had him pinning people with his trademark 5 count instead of the normal 3. The steel cage was the classic thick blue bars and was not the terrible chain link fence they use now and looked more unforgiving even if it was probably just hollow metal. Calling the match was Jesse "The Body" Ventura, Lord Alfred Hayes and Horror Hostess Elvira Mistress Of The Dark, who was looking as ravishing as ever. Even as a youngster, I always thought Elvira was one hot goth beauty. The match itself was brutal and a blood bath as Bundy was busted open and Hogan was able to get the win after climbing over the top of the cage to the arena floor. The match might not have been one of the best in the history of WrestleMania, but it will forever be one that I remember.
But Bundy was not just a pro wrestler, he was also an actor and in 1988 he starred in "Moving," a comedy starring Richard Pryor where he played moving man Gorgo who is the brute force for the rude movers who in the end gets punked out by Pryor's character after everything goes wrong. Also in 1988, Bundy was on the TV Show "Married With Children" where he played Uncle Irwin, the brother to Peggy Bundy and would later be on an episode where he played himself and wrestled Bud Bundy who was dressed as a bee. Lesser known acting roles are the 2002 short film "Bill's Seat" where he played Big Swede, and in 2008 he was in a film called "Fight The Panda Syndicate" where he played Otto Belmar. Besides acting, he also became a comedian and has tickled the funny bones of all who have seen him. While he might not be box office gold like The Rock, his roles in movies and TV have entertained many, and I must say Moving was a film my brother and I watched a lot.
Vendex Computers with their HeadStart line in the late 1980's hired King Kong Bundy to promote their product in TV Commercials as well as in Print Ads. This is what is said that lead to Bundy leaving the WWF for the first time as Vince McMahon was upset that Bundy made the deal without telling the WWF and therefore, the story goes, he did not get a percent of the money Bundy earned as he was under contract with the WWF. But the argument would go that Bundy being an Independent Contractor could take out sourced jobs like that to make extra money but Vince did not see it that way. Bundy was the face for the computer brand for a short amount of time, but this was the final straw and the WWF and Bundy parted ways all over him make extra money on the side…or as I have said so the story goes. So what do you think should Vince have a right to part of his wrestlers pay for acting and promotion work? Did Bundy do the right thing by leaving the WWF in 1988? Would you have bought a Vendex Computer cause of King Kong Bundy endorse it? Is this even a real drama issue between Bundy and Vince that is said to still burn between the two till this day? Or is this just a wrestling rumor told through the ages? So many questions with so many answers!
Like any wrestling legend Bundy has had his share of merchandise. Some of the most notable include the LJN figure as well as Thumb Wrestler and Bendie and the official WWF Bundy t-shirt. He would appear on trading cards, magazines and VHS tapes. He would have official action figures as of late as well as some none-WWF figures from smaller toy companies. He had a comic book series and video game appearances and posters. Growing up I had both the large and bendie Bundy figures, and me and my friends use to make jokes about how you could kill a person with his figure as it was one wide and heavy piece of rubber. I have lots of memories throwing that Bundy figure around and acting like Hulk Hogan or Andre The Giant were body slamming him. So if you're a Bundy fan, there is stuff in the world that you can get to make your collection complete and show the world you stand with King Kong Bundy.
King Kong Bundy has been in a few video games like Legends Of Wrestling series that had a total of three games that were released for PS2 and Xbox by Acclaim. In WWF/WWE games he has appeared in WWE 2K14 for 2K Sports and Legends Of WrestleMania for THQ both of those games were released for PS3 and Xbox 360. That's right, you can relive King Kong Bundy fighting Hulk Hogan in a steel cage in many of these games or even have him try and Bundy Splash the likes of Ricky Morton, Mil Mascaras or Mike Von Erich in the Legends Of Wrestling Series. So pick up your controller and demand a five count when putting the Smack Down on the computer or a friend.
So I hope you learned a little about King Kong Bundy or even took a trip down memory lane with this update so far as it's been fun looking back and remembering some of these moments in his career. I want to thank Jason Young who gave me issues one and two of this series for Christmas in 2015 and sparked me trying to find the other three issues in the series in order to do this update. I also want to thank TWL for sending me the missing three issues so that this update could happen! So before we get into the ring with the Master of the Five count, I need to remind you all that I grade these issues on a star scale of 1 to 4 and am looking for how well the comic stays to the source material, its entertainment value and its art and story. So let's step in the ring with the walking condominium and see what kind of comic adventures he will have.
King Kong Bundy # 1 **1/2
Released in 2001 Cover Price None TLW Productions # 1 of 5
The Iran Sheik is upset that all the kids around the world are cheering for King Kong Bundy, and while Bundy gets the tough fights, the Sheik feels he is getting no real competition. So a match is set up for Bundy to fight the Sheik that has the madman from Iran cheating to try and win by loading his boot, using the ring bell and even knocking out the referee. The Iran Sheik's cheating ways leads to him loosing the match by disqualification. The rest of the comic is filled with short stories like two adventures of Lil' Bundy that has King Kong Bundy as a kid going trick or treating. The second story is him fighting with his teacher that he big splashes! Another story has Bundy at a bar throwing a man who was beating up his girlfriend through the front window for disturbing him while he was drinking! One has him buying a white suit that makes him look like a famed super villain called The Kongpin and being attacked by masked heroes. While another has him accidentally drinking a experimental liquid right before a match that turns him to skin and bones, but even with the weight loss, the master of the five count puts a beat down on his opponent Tang Eater Smith! The final story has Bundy in the main event taking on another big man named The Volcano! The match is heavy handed but in the end Bundy gets the five count!
Wow, this is a mixed bag of comic stories all revolving around King Kong Bundy, and strangely enough they are pretty entertaining and have a true independent comic feel to them. The main stories are the book ends and showcase Bundy in fights with the first being againstThe Iran Sheik, who is the only other real wrestler to appear in one of the stories. The second one has him fighting a parody of The Natural Disasters (Earthquake & Typhoon) named Volcano who is a big heavy set guy who spits red mist to show the eruption. King Kong Bundy is the star of the comic and is shown in two different lights, one being a good guy who, while edgy, loves his fans. The other side is pure heel with him claiming to be the best wrestler in the world and even chasing off an abused woman all because her fight with her boyfriend annoyed him while he was drinking. Odd to have Bundy shown in a positive light as he has always been a heel when I used to watch WWF as a kid, managed by the likes of Bobby "The Brain" Heenan and "Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase. It was nice seeing The Iran Sheik in the issue as he is the perfect bad guy for any wrestler turned comic hero to fight! Plus the issue's other baddies, The Volcano and Tang Eater Smith, are pretty funny generic wrestlers who are just stacked up for Bundy to squash and get the five count on. The part that works the most for me about this comic is for some reason, just as Jason Young said, it reminds me of the old Rock N Roll Comics by Revolutionary Comics with its art style and charm. Plus the cover is fantastic and would be eye catching to any fan of pro wrestling or independent comics. The art is done by Brien Cardello, and one segment is done by Marco Dileonardo. Both are fitting and bring the mood and feel of this wrestling comic alive!One other cool aspect of this comic is there are one page features that breaks down big moments in Bundy's wrestling and acting career complete with art and facts. So sum it up, this first issue is lots of fun, and I am still amazed that this series exists and can't wait to see what issue two has in store for me!
Released in 2002 Cover Price $5.00 TLW Productions # 2 of 5
King Kong Bundy keeps making short work of sleazy manager Herbie Swartz and making his style look cheap and dated. So to get his revenge on Bundy, Swartz finds an old government robot war machine that looks like Bundy and books a match between the two. While at first it looks grim for Bundy, his never give up attitude proves too much for the robot showing the fans that no one can beat Bundy, not even a robot version of himself! Next up Bundy is upset as the crowd is booing him during his last match but soon finds out that the real match is the next day, and he actually beat up Metallica at their very own concert! The next adventure of Lil Bundy has him training Chuck Brown into beating the kids of Family Circus to death! In a quick story Bundy scares everyone out of the ring during a battle royal. The final story has midget wrestlers being mad about the way Bundy treated Little Beaver at WrestleMania III and want him to wrestle Smalley Biggs, a midget wrestler who has never lost. After many sleepless nights of them disrupting his sleep, he and a college professor make a midget clone that is known as Mini-Bundy, and he wrestles the match and wins!
This second issue is much like the first, a fun read about a wrestler who by all accounts is underrated by current fans of the sport. Like the first issue as well, this one is packed with lots of mini stories about Bundy that has him cloning himself into a midget all the way to beating up Metallica at their own concert. King Kong Bundy is still loved by the fans for the most part but does do lots of bad things including, as a youngster, teaching a kid to beat weaker kids to death! But Bundy is the type of character that would pick on the weaker man as he is so powerful and bigger than most that survival of the fittest was his attitude even in WWF, just go ask S.D. Jones. Herbie Swartz is a great low talent manager who I hope shows back up in a future issue as his lame stable of wrestlers could be used more to be a thorn in Bundy's side. Smalley Biggs and his fellow small wrestlers are good at being annoying and keeping the full size Bundy from getting sleep, but are no match for the tiny Bundy clone. My favorite story in this issue has to be the opener called "Enter Mecha-Bundy" as it reminds me of the film King Kong Escapes that pits a Mecha-Kong, a robot version of King Kong, against the real deal and that's what this story is about as well. The cover for this issue is amazing and fitting as it's dedicated to those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks and has Bundy standing tall holding the American flag. The art in this issue is done by many talented artists that include the likes of Andy Macdonald, Lou Platania, Sal Cipriano, Oliver Drac and Brien Cardello, and all do fantastic work on their segments. This issue also does a segment that takes a brief look at wrestler Big John Studd, and this made me wish they also would have done a full comic series based on him! Over all this second issue is just as great as the first, and I can't wait to read issue three and see what its all about.
Captain Bodyslam is stuck in traffic, and this leaves Steve The Promoter without an opponent for King Kong Bundy. But fate is on his side as he finds Frank, a big man who is an elevator mechanic, and offers him the match. Steve tells the Ref not to stop the fight as Frank fights very dirty and during the match Bundy takes a hammer and wrench to the head and finally gets mad when he finds out The Promoter told them not to stop the fight no matter what! By the time Captain Bodyslam shows up for the match, he is crushed in a accident caused by Frank and a counter weight! Bundy, Frank and the crew just walk away and get a beer. The second story has the comic creators trying to explain just how big King Kong Bundy is by comparing him to things ranging from bags of M&Ms all the way to Playboy bunnies. The third and final story has King Kong Bundy being harassed by superheroes like Superman, a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle and Thor and by the end walking away in frustration.
King Kong Bundy is back to bring us readers three stories as well as more moments in his long wrestling career. I am still amazed that this comic series was made and also very happy to see it made as I think more comics about pro wrestlers should make their ways to comic book stores. In this issue Bundy is still well loved by wrestling fans and just looks forward to squashing his opponent in the ring in order to get the five count. Bundy also seems to showcase his short temper and doesn't like it when he feels people disrespect him. He also seems to not be bothered when a fellow wrestler is killed in the ring…oh that Bundy, he so crazy! Captain Bodyslam is so cheesy and reminds of a wrestler that you would see in a match at a high school gym and that's what makes him such a fun ,yet gone-to-soon character. The opening story is my favorite as I like the idea of a crazed normal guy getting into the ring with Bundy and trying his best to cheat to win, but yet still can't. Over all this is another good solid issue and shows that Bundy has more stories to share, and I really like the highlights of his career as this issue breaks down his matches with Razor Ramon (Scott Hall), The Undertaker and Diesel (Kevin Nash), and you can tell that artist and writer Brien Cardello is not a fan of Hall and Nash! Let's see what Bundy has planned next for us, shall we?
King Kong Bundy travels to Japan as he has been challenged by the undefeated Osara, a man that is the size of Bundy and who is filled with honor and the thrill of the fight! The match is sold out, and during the event, the promoters are cheating using robotic machinery to trip and hold Bundy in spot! By the mid-match Osara figures out that cheating has been involved in the match, and he awards Bundy the winner of the match as the crooked promoters run off. Bundy and Osara become friends after the match and enjoy a very healthy dinner of chicken! The second story has ninjas sneaking into Bundy's hotel room with orders to hurt him a little to keep him in Japan so that a rematch can be made between him and Osara. This of course backfires as Bundy thinks they are hotel workers helping him, and in the mayhem, he ends up hurting them badly enough that they quit! The third story takes a look at Bundy's tag team match at the failed Heroes Of Wrestling PPV that had him and Jim Neidhart teaming up against Yokozuna and a trashed Jake Roberts! The fourth and final story has Bundy using puppets to explain why this issue was a year late!
More great stuff that features the squared ring! This time around Bundy travels to Japan to face a challenger who just might have been able to beat him! Three of the four stories are really great in this issue with the fourth story being the weakest – but really it's more of a comedy skit than a wrestling action one. While it's hard to choose, I think my favorite story in this one has to be the Heroes Of Wrestling PPV as the depiction of a drunk Jake Roberts made me laugh as they made him look so rough that I laughed out loud! If you 've ever seen that PPV, you realize that Jake ruined not only his match but also the main event! The comic acts as if Bundy was so mad about Jake's antics that he came out to beat him up and that Yokozuna was bored with not beating anyone up yet and marched down to the ring as well. King Kong Bundy once more has lots of pride and when challenged travels to Japan for honor, yet he also beats up an old lady who is buying chicken for her little dog as he says he needs the protein! I think that's what people should understand about Bundy in this comic, it's his way or no way and he doesn't care to hurt anyone who gets in his way! Osara is a mountain of a man, and by the looks of him, could have given Bundy a ride for his money. But he's also a man of honor; when he finds out cheating was involved, he quickly stops the match. This was a very fun issue and has art done by not only Brien Cardello but also Kris Renkewitz and Tom Lyle, and each gives their own touch to the look and legend of Bundy. The cover is also well done and reminds me of looking at the independent comic boxes at Mavericks Cards And Comics and buying some with the oddest looking covers in the mid 90's. I'm still chuckling over the drawings of the bolding Jake Roberts, fun stuff indeed.
King Kong Bundy is at home watering the flowers in his front lawn when the paperboy throws the paper, hitting Bundy in the head and causing him to turn the hose on the paperboy and knock him into the neighbor's garbage cans! Bundy soon finds out from neighbor and friend Chuck that the paperboy is the son of famed mobster Vito The Cobra! During the weekend poker game, a message of roses and a dead fish is sent to Bundy as a warning. Then, during a TV broadcast at the local college during a battle royal, Bundy is attacked by henchmen in the ring but as always Bundy comes out the winner! In the end Bundy meets Vito, and the pair make peace as it's clear his son in the instigator in the turmoil taking place in the neighborhood. The second story is about King Kong Bundy wrestling Jerry "The King" Lawler in an epic match that has Bundy pinning The King with the help of Rick Rude and Jimmy Hart, and oh yeah, a pair of brass knuckles. The third story has Bundy and his pal, fellow wrestler Warthog, in the costume room trying on all types of outfits making Bundy look like everyone from Hulk Hogan to Wolverine of the X-Men, but in the end Bundy just wants to be Bundy. The fourth and final part has King Kong Bundy answering questions from fan letters and ends up leaving on a date with Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
This was the final issue in the "Worlds Best Wrestling Comic" as the issues say and by all accounts while it might not be the best it sure as hell was one fun of a read! This issue has four stories with the best being the first as Bundy's run in with the mob is a fun adventures that pits the odds against Bundy who never shows fear as his life is on the line. Plus it was cool to see the comic book version of the famous Jerry Lawler vs. Bundy match making this issue another hit with this comic and pro wrestling fan. I have to give major props to TLW Productions, Brien Cardello and all the other artist who worked on this series as they took a heel pro wrestler and turned out a solid well done comic that would please fans of wrestling as well as independent comics. King Kong Bundy through out the series shows many different sides of his personality as he can go from doing the right thing to getting pure joy on hurting people and it seems as if fans in the comic still always cheer him for almost anything he does good or bad. Plus I like that while his attitude might slightly change from story to story, from issue to issue Bundy acts like the same character, and this is the sign of a good character and good writers. In this issue we get to see the likes of Jerry "The King" Lawler, Jimmy Hart and Rick Rude, and throughout the series we also got to see Big John Studd, Iran Sheik, Yokozuna, Jim Neidhart and Jake "The Snake" Roberts all who added to stories and were great to see as comic characters. For some of them, it was the very time they appeared in a comic. Art is by Brien Cardello and looks pretty dang good and has a Box Brown, Chester Brown and Jason Young charm to it. The cover is over done and very pink, but heck it still is eye catching and fun. I would say if you're a fan of pro wrestling from the 80's and early 90's, a fan of King Kong Bundy or just like smaller press comics, check out this series for sure as I am glad I got the chance to review it here on Rotten Ink. Below is some artwork from the series, so give it a look for at least a five count!
Before I wrap this up, while doing some research for this update, I came across this picture of King Kong Bundy with hair and just had to share it with you readers as this is a sight most of us never have seen before. The Bundy many of us know and love or hate was bald, so take a look at this!
So I hoped you enjoyed this look at wrestling legend King Kong Bundy and that you learned something new or some of it triggered your own memories of his matches and career. Now I am sure I left some major things out including feuds and groups he was in, but I tried to focus on the things I remember him for as well as what would be considered his highlights. I want to also thank TLW Productions and Jason Young again for getting me these issues and making this update possible! For our next update we are stepping out of the ring and into the holiday of July 4th for a look at a patriotic superhero named The Shield. So make sure to join me back here for that! Until then, read a comic or three, play a video game or two and support your local wrestling federation. See you back here on July 4th!
On a side note TWL Productions is working on a new King Kong Bundy series that is currently looking for help funding via Kickstarter! The first issue being pitched will also have wrestling legend One Man Gang in it! So if you have a little extra cash and love classic wrestling like I do make sure to give and help it come alive.

Yamaha's R-S201 is a great choice for those wanting a very simple entry-level receiver. While it won't likely satisfy those with audiophile-like expectations of performance, this affordable receiver delivers powerful and rich sound for the price. A rating of 100 watts per channel is quite a bit for this price range, although it is worth noting that loudness doesn't always equal good quality sound.

Spend a couple of days meandering through its towns, from the restored palaces of Perast to Kotor's Venetian old town with sites including the three city gates, town square and clock tower, but the highlight is the Cathedral of Saint Tryphon. Nowhere combines ancient history and stunning scenery better.
An UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bay of Kotor's winding coastline offers ample opportunities for hikers and bikers, with quiet roads generally devoid of traffic. Head up to the observation deck at Tivat for panoramic views of the bay and hike the 1300 steps to the Kotor Fortress.

Only 100 yards from Kotor Bay's marina, this hotel is perfectly situated to explore the many restaurants and attractions of the lively city centre.
Hotel Vardar
Located in the main square of the UNESCO listed old town of Kotor, Hotel Vardar offers guests elegant rooms, a small gym, wellness centre complete with sauna and Turkish bath, and an outdoor terrace.

Bang Por-Nathon »
Blue Samui
Arrival: Departure: Promo Code: My dates are flexible
from $ 0 / night
Blue Samui is a hidden treasure: a 3-bedroomed hillside property built on three levels, backed by tropical greenery and with spectacular views from its terraces and infinity pool. Stylish interiors and comfortable outdoor spaces create a relaxing family retreat with easy access to the island's main beaches and attractions.
Housekeeping (Full time), Security
TV (Satellite/Cable)
Blue Samui is ideal for these types of holiday :
Finding Blue Samui isn't easy and that's part of the appeal. Even though the villa is just ten minutes from Samui's main port town at Nathon, it's hidden away up a winding lane that emerges onto a forested hillside fronted by breathtaking seascapes. Although one of the first luxury villas to be built on Samui, recent upgrades like new roofing, fresh decor and attractive modern furnishings mean you never lack for comfort. Appealing additions such as the sink-into planters' chairs on the bedroom terraces provide the perfect spot to relax and read; the cool combination of natural materials and white walls creates an overall sense of space and light while contemporary artwork adds a touch of style. Daily activities generally revolve around the pool, the sala (gazebo) and the lounge. The former quite small at just eight metres, but perfectly positioned for a dreamy dip and for catching the refreshing sea breeze, with the water pouring straight into the spectacular scenery. If you can live without the beach on your doorstep, Blue Samui has everything else you'll need. Start with a late breakfast and then laze by the pool – switching between the sun loungers and the shaded sala – before moving inside for dinner and a movie in the evening and retiring to the air conditioned comfort of your bedroom. The kitchen has every appliance and accessory needed to create your own gastronomic delights and there's also a barbecue at your disposal for alfresco feasts. The villa comes with two friendly and committed live-in staff who keep things very clean and ordered, as well as helping out in the kitchen (although they are not trained chefs – the villa is self-catered) Fine, serving drinks and nipping out for supplies. With a car you are only minutes from some pleasant beachside eateries, while the popular beaches of Bo Phut and Chaweng also offer a good choice of dining, shopping and entertainment options. Although Blue Samui may not be ideally suited to toddlers or seniors due to its elevated position and proliferation of steps, the two adjoining guest bedrooms make it a comfortable family villa for those with older kids (10+).
Avoid the crowds with views that rival the island's best.
There's something refreshingly independent about Blue Samui. The secluded setting is quite unusual for a fast developing island because there are no other properties surrounding the villa (bar one, a little further down the hill, which barely enters the view). This means you quickly relax into your own, private world – shoes and watch off, beachwear on. Once you've stocked the fridge at one of the island's big supermarkets, the urge to venture out fades, at least during the day. The homely atmosphere, combined with abundant on-hand facilities lets you set your own schedule and this generally involves little more than eating, lounging, reading and drifting into the view. Of course, unless you're someone that sees cooking as a leisure activity, the lack of a chef means dining out becomes part of the routine, but with a hire car there are plenty of options close by. The two on-site staff are very keen to please and will happily serve snacks and drinks so you don't have to leave you sun lounger too often. A poolside barbecue is also a must at least once during your stay. The evening light makes those breathtaking views almost surreal. Although the guest bedrooms share a bathroom, the rooms themselves are nicely furnished, spacious and the wide verandah is almost an extra lounge. The views from the nicely hidden bath tub in the master suite make bathing a special pleasure that adds to the indulgence in what, for us, was a pleasingly private and relaxing island retreat.
The superlative views from almost every point on the property not only cement the sense of escape but also give the villa an added sense of space and beauty. The secluded hillside setting also guarantees absolute privacy, making this an ideal getaway for those looking to remove themselves from the stresses of city life.
Proximity to nature means sharing space with insects, falling fruit and the occasional surprise guest (bats fly around at sunset during certain seasons). But the villa has been designed to minimise natural intrusions with covered terraces and glassed off garden areas. The only human intrusion is a little traffic noise from the ring road that passes below the villa, but the views more than compensate.
Leafy, elevated location with stunning views
Nice balance of indoor and outdoor spaces
Indulgent bath tub with a view
Furnished, shaded poolside sala
Steep steps and high balconies (not for toddlers)
Forested surroundings attract insects
Guest bedrooms share a bathroom

there's a name for paradies on earth.... Blue Samui, Koh Samui, Thailand
If you are looking for a place to relax, Blue Samui is definitely something for you! The villa gives you everything you need to forget hard days at work and makes a dream come true.
If you are someone who is looking for pure relaxation, Blue Villa is the best place were you can enjoy great view, cool drinks in the sala or just have a good swimm in the pool.
My wife and I had 19 great days at the villa! It is a place you could hang out for a while. Large living room, well equipped kitchen and a big sala makes living very easy. The bedrooms are huge, with a big bed in the master bedroom, where you will find a good sleep as its so quiet. And the great thing about the bedrooms are, you wake up in the morning and you have a stunning view over to Koh Pangan... makes you want to stay in bed for the whole day!
Nathon Beach or Mea Nam are close by, even though we suggest you rent a bike or a car, because it is a bit far away from Chaweng Beach (40 min.) or Lamai (30 min.). There are lots of Thai Restaurants nearby, which serve great original Thai food for great prices.
The housekeepers, Nu und Jo, take such good care of the villa and of you too, while you are there. They are so friendly and did such a great job and they have found a very special place in our hearts. We wish them all the best for the coming future. Two dogs, Pooky and Toto guard the Villa as well, such cute and friendly dogs, you will love them the first time you see them.
All in all, it is a place we will get back to for sure. Marc the owner did a great job renovating the place, it has everything you need if you are looking for heaven on earth.
Master Bed Bathroom
A secluded hillside location gives Blue Samui a very private feel. The bay directly below Blue Samui is known as Kao Laem Noi: a small, quiet beach at the northernmost tip of the Samui coast. It is sandy but with very shallow water, especially during the low summer tides from March to July when you can walk out for up to 100m and explore the rock pools. There are a number of traditional Thai-style roadside restaurants at the back of Kao Laem Noi. The luxurious Four Seasons Resort occupies a hidden cove around ten minutes drive from the villa, up the hill to the left, while to the right, at the end of the beach, a rocky headland reaches out towards the neighbouring island of Koh Phangan. This provides excellent photo opportunities, especially when the local fishing boats head out in the evening light.

About Bang Por-Nathon
The modest, beachside village of Bang Por is little more than a loose collection of local seafood restaurants, minimarkets (handy for basic provisioning) and low key resorts, the latter offering varied but simple dining options. The area is also home to several established spa and wellness centres. The main island ring road runs quite close to the beach in Bang Por, which is very narrow with shallow waters but pleasant views across to neighbouring islands. A steep hill rises north from Bang Por, the road bending west at its crown before dropping towards Nathon, the island's main port and commercial district. Nathon is also a good place to buy simple souvenirs and to experience a little authentic local culture. There's a fresh market and moderately sized Tesco Lotus supermarket in town for more comprehensive provisions.
About Koh Samui
The third largest island in Thailand, Koh Samui is just 21km at its widest point and 25km at its longest. The hinterland consists of forested limestone hills and the shoreline is made up of countless coconut palm-fringed beaches and bays.
Traditionally a coconut plantation and fisherman's haven, in the last few years the island has grown into a major holiday destination with regular connections to Bangkok and direct flights from Hong Kong and Singapore. Despite rapid development, Samui is small enough to retain its charm and its modest size also makes it a convenient, laid back location even during busy seasons.
As well as fine beaches, Samui is known for recreation, relaxation and fine food. The blue waters of the Thai Gulf provide a wealth of possibility for water sports, while on land the island is well known for its professional and indulgent spas and health retreats. Fresh seafood is a specialty at most of Samui's restaurants, but you can also enjoy food from almost every corner of the globe thanks to the island's strong international influences.
Each beach on Samui has its own particular character and ambience. The east coast beaches of Chaweng and Lamai are busy, commercial areas with everything from beach vendors to fast food chains, while to the north, Bang Rak and Bo Phut have a more relaxed local village atmosphere. Beaches like Lipa Noi and Laem Set on the western and southern shores feel much more remote and untouched.
Koh Samui combines comfort and convenience with a sense of real escape and this has made it a popular choice for residential as well as tourist development. The island is an eclectic blend of nature and sophistication, one that draws repeat visitors every year to indulge in its tropical delights.
The recently renovated villa is built over three levels and reached via steps from its two-vehicle car port. The lower level features a spacious, open-plan living and dining area with ensuite bathroom. A recessed space houses a wall-mounted flat-screen TV with DVD and surround-sound in front of two comfortable sofas (there's also an iPod dock and a notebook computer with WiFi for guests' use). The eight-seater dining table sits on a rug in the centre of the room and is served by a modern, well-equipped kitchen with an oven, hob, fridge-freezer and dishwasher. Outside, a covered verandah maximises the views while beyond that a spacious sun terrace and pool patio with cushioned loungers surrounds the infinity pool, which is modestly sized but perfectly positioned. A comfortable, furnished sala is poised for shaded relaxation between dips. Stairs climb through the centre of the property separating the villa's two pavilions. On the second level, overlooking the pool area, one of the pavilions houses two guest bedrooms (one queen, one twin) connected via a shared bathroom with rain shower, perfect for a family. Both bedrooms are pleasantly furnished and accessorised with polished wooden floors and built-in wardrobes (there are no TVs in the bedrooms), and each slides open onto a covered verandah with a soft sofa and comfortable planters' chairs facing the dramatic views. A second verandah runs behind these two bedrooms, shaded by the lush, cliff-side vegetation. The third level sits above the living area and houses the master bedroom, with unobstructed views right from its king size bed. The room opens onto a wrap-around verandah and is simply but tasteful furnished with an emphasis on space. The attached bathroom is literally built into the cliff side and includes a rain shower plus a separate room with a glazed rear wall revealing the roots of an ancient Banyan tree, and boasting a generous bath tub with stunning ocean views, ideal for a romantic soak. The villa holds a commanding position on the hillside and although it opens right into the views from every room, none are overlooked. Folding doors allow you to close off the outside world when needed and there's concealed air conditioning throughout.
