You live in one of the penthouse villas here. Whats that like? You
wake up, push the button on the iPad and the curtains open and you
see that view. The other great thing about being in Kata Rocks is to
have all these services just on tap. To be able to have full room service
whenever you like, or to walk down to the gym. Ive got no excuse
now not to go to the gym, and the spa as well. Its all on the doorstep.
What do you do with your free time, if you have any? There
hasnt been a lot lately. Before Kata Rocks I got my life to quite a
nice stage. I had developments in London, but I had a good team,
so I got to a stage where I was working three or four days a week,
with a nice house down in the country, an Aston Martin, a couple
of boats I had a nice life. Then I came out here to do this project
and basically swapped three days a week for seven days a week, and
swapped the Aston Martin for a Fortuner. My aim going forward is to
get more of a life balance back again.
What do you tell clients with concerns about Thailands political
troubles? They havent even asked! I think its well known that
Thailand has seen numerous political issues over the years, most of
which have minimal impact on wider society. It doesnt even come
up in conversation. Were dealing with clients who would typically
be worth at least 10 million dollars, and theyre not going to be
frightened by a bit of protesting in Bangkok. They probably already
love Thailand and understand that this sort of thing goes on.
What do you think are the greatest challenges facing Phuket
in attracting high quality visitors and investors? Theyve got
to sort the traf c out. You dont come to a holiday island to sit
stationary in a traf c jam. They need to encourage clientele at a
higher level, and such clientele will be put of if there are a whole
load of cheap package tours here.
What, in your opinion, are Phukets greatest strengths as a
luxury destination? Ive always thought of Phuket as one of the
main holiday islands for Asia. When you look at the Mediterranean
youve got Minorca, Ibiza, places like that where Europeans go for
their island holidays. For America its the Caribbean. For Asia, Phuket
and Bali are the two main islands. Half of the worlds population
is within a fve-hour fight, which is quite extraordinary when you
think about it. And many would generally agree that most of the
worlds growth will come from Asia in the next 20 years.
Phuket has obviously changed a lot from its backpacker days. Some
people dont like that progress, but 25 years ago you couldnt go to
great restaurants like youd fnd in the South of France, with great
wines and that level of service. And whats really good about Phuket
is you can come in and have a six-star holiday, but you can also nip
over to somewhere like Ko Yao Noi and have the old Thailand as well.
When you look at it overall, where else do you get 28-30 degrees
all year round, lovely beaches, sea the temperature of bath water,
great food, perfect massages and spas, and a very friendly, peaceful
environment? All of these things add up to a great place.
Tell us how you found your way to Phuket. I came at the end of
2006 for the Kings Cup Regatta and ended up looking at property.
I found this site in the middle of 2007. We bought it, completed the
deal in December 2007 and launched Kata Rocks in February 2008.
For at least two years, I spent three weeks here, then three weeks in
the UK. Now Im here about 85 or 90 per cent of the time.
Kata Rocks recently opened. How has that been going so far?
Weve taken some early bookings at quite a big discount for our
soft opening phase. But were not trying to get too many bookings
until weve built up the team for the grand opening, later this
year. Its good for the staf and their training. We dont want them
overwhelmed, and its more important to get the correct procedures
in place frst so our guests will enjoy a six-star experience.
How are people fnding out about Kata Rocks? Mostly word
of mouth so far. Weve got a database of about 12,000 thats
organically built up of people who have inquired about Kata Rocks
over the last few years. Plus weve got about 36,000 on Facebook
following us. It just spreads from there.
A lot of people have come to do photo shoots for magazines because
its so photogenic. And we do a mailing every now and then. We did
one the other day with nine photos, including a really good one with
a wow view of the island and the pool. It got a massive response.
Do you have any other projects in the works, in Phuket or
elsewhere? Ive got a business in London, which is now mainly
rental properties in Notting Hill. In Monaco Im a partner in
Hemisphere Solutions, a recruitment business for superyachts.
We provide the captains, crew and many other solutions for the
superyacht industry in that region. London, Monaco and Phuket are
not bad places to do business. Quite nice actually!
Im looking for the next property to develop. Id like to do another one
in Phuket because Ive got a great team here, but fnding a prime site
like this is hard. It needs to be a six-star experience so it needs a six-
star location. Design and build quality, staf and service are important,
but if the location is second-rate you can never achieve any of that.
What have you learned developing your project on Phuket?
How does it compare to your experience in the UK? Many people
think its very diferent from Europe but its not really. Business
anywhere is fairly similar. Youre always just dealing with people, and
people the world over are generally quite similar. You get frustrations
in London and you get slightly diferent frustrations in Thailand.
In London, regulations are very strict to a point of over-regulation; in
Thailand, things are a bit more fexible but there is the big issue of
language and communication, which make the job harder.
Have you had any dif culties working in a diferent culture?
Youve got to appreciate the Thai way. If youre someone who loses
his cool with people thats not going to help you in Thailand. They
dont respect that. Im not really like that anyway, but some people
try to shout and scream and wonder why they just get a smiling
face back and nothing happens.
Im still useless at speaking Thai, but Ive got some very good
people who do that I can really trust, and thats important. I think
probably one of my biggest achievements in doing this project
is that the frst six people who came to work with me all are still
here, apart from one who left to live in America. You can create an
enduring business with that. They trust me to sort things out and
they sort my problems out with language.
Developer of the newly-opened Kata Rocks, Richard
describes the joys and challenges of leading a
project to completion, and how settling in to island
life has coaxed him away from his London home.

When you step on board a luxury yacht, etiquette dictates the
removal of your shoes to ensure the exquisite decks remain in
perfect condition.
However, for this Helicam photo shoot, Captain Winston of motor
yacht Big Fish actually requested the wearing of stiletto heels.
The Helicam team were brought in to capture a set of images
demonstrating the benefts of granite decks.
Flash speed lighting and umbrellas were set up for the Helicam
photoshoot. Posing on the granite decks, the stunning Yulia
modelled a selection of high heels. Additional aerial imagery was
shot using the new 6-rotor drone hexocopter ftted with a gimbled
steady-cam to ensure the shoot was perfect.

Alain Tabruyn
Owner of Brasserie Phuket
Oyster-Wi ne-Beer Bar
When did you set up the Brasserie? What was behind your
decision to set up this business in Phuket? I founded the
Brasserie more than three years ago. The main attraction was to
open a venue in phuket town that would become a benchmark
in Phuket incontournable in French. The decision to set up a
business in Phuket came because I was missing something that I
loved in Europe: a classical, informal yet chique brasserie like you
can fnd in Paris or Brussels. It didn't exist in Phuket
What were you doing before? I was living and running my
company in Hong Kong and China (which I still do).
Where are you from? I come from a country where we like to live
the 'Burgundy style': Belgium. My hometown is Sint Truiden: the
center for apple, pears, strawberries and much more. Go and visit!
It's small but you'll be surprised. You should go in April/May, when
all the cherry trees show their magnifcent snow-white fowers...
Whats diferent about Brasserie Phuket? What are its unique
points? When you enter the Brasserie, you feel something diferent. It
hits you: am I in Paris, Brussels? The unique thing about the Brasserie
is that we serve only the best and freshest ingredients. And where
can you fnd fresh inmported game meat or live crayfsh from France?
Also unique is that everything is home-made, from the bread to
every dessert. But the Brasserie is not only about eating it's about
atmosphere and drinking at our famous bar. And there again, we're
unique. It's not just drinking, but savour one of our 50 Belgian beers.
Why would someone choose the Brasserie compared to your
closest competition? To be honest I don't think the Brasserie
has any competition yet. It's unique in its concept. One thing that
makes us diferent is the consistancy of the dishes.
Tell us something about your role in the business? My role
is to be there every day and to make sure that everything goes
smoothly. The kitchen, the restaurant, the athmosphere and to
chit-chat with my customers.
What are the main challenges? To improve every day and never
think that you're at the top because that's when you go down.
and what are the biggest dif culties? The biggest dif culties
were adapting to work with local staf. We're so diferent. But then
it's a challenge not to give up. When you see some of my staf today,
they are top! That gives me a wonderful feeling.
What is your main target market? Our main target is expats who
loves their food but also local Thais who represent 50% of our
customers!
What is your approach to marketing Brasserie Phuket to your
target? We do adverstise in a few magazines, but we really believe
in word of mouth. Especially in such a small community. And it
works!
What do you like most about what you do now? What I like
the most is seeing a customer going out with a smile and saying:
"Thank you so much for the wonderful food and evening.
And what do you like least? Arrogant customers who don't
have a clue what they're talking about!
What do you expect to achieve within the next 3-5 years? The
next two years we will concentrate on all the small details to make
it even better. Then we'll open our new venue next door: 'High
Defnition' which will be my new challange, together with Dutch
top chef Thomas Diepersloot and my daughter Babette. Again this
will be unique in phuket.
What do you see as your biggest successes to date? That I'm
happy with what I'm doing. All the rest is not important.
To what extent did the global fnancial mess afect your
business? Dif cult to say because Asia is doing well. I suppose we
would have more customers from Europe, but I'm not complaining.
We're doing very well
Please give us an overview of your typical day at work. A
typical day at work is to have a briefng with our chef and staf. Have
a look at the kitchen. Then I check the computer for reservations.
My lovely wife takes care of operations.
How would you describe your leadership style? I'm hard but
correct. Seventy percent of our staf left (except in the kitchen) after
one or two days. The ones who are still here today are exactly the
ones we want!
What is your over-riding ambition at this stage in your life?
Again, it's not really about me it's the people close to me. Without
my wife (Lin Kwanjai) the Brasserie would not be what it is today.
If you aim too much for something, you won't get it. Concentrate
on your work and love what you do and people will come to you.
Enthusiasm is contagious, you know...

potatoes and baked. Served

potatoes and slice them very thin with a slicer machine,
wash the slices very well and pat them dry also with a
clean, odorless kitchen cloth.
Season the fllets with salt and pepper, wrap them one
by one with the potato slices. In a non-stick pan, sear
the fllet with extra virgin olive oil, until the potato is
golden, then move the fllet into an oiled baking tray
and bake at 180 C (356 F) until well done.
Presentation

turret of lentils, with the help of a cup. Sprinkle the

GULLIBLES TRAVAILS
Roadside wine tastings
They appear at dusk, invitingly illuminated along dusty roads,
inches from marauding pick-ups. Gleaming bottles of ruby and
amber on little wooden tables... neatly displayed wines you might
think, so busy husbands can grab a bottle on their way home.
Then you notice the parked motorcyclist enthusiastically emptying
a bottle into his gas tank and you begin to wonder.
When you inspect the bottles closely, youll fnd that the bouquet
has less of a hint of ripe plums about it than a blast of Saudi crude.
The amber 'vino' is 91 octane and the ruby is 95 just the thing to
make that dinner party go with a bang.
Gender ofender
Youre in a bar on Patong's infamous Soi Bangla, enjoying a few
beers, and then comes the time when you need to return some
of your purchases. So you stagger of in search of the bathrooms,
fnding them in a pair, one male and one female, as is so often the
case.
Back home, bathroom doors boast clear signs alerting you to
which entrance is the right one for your gender, but like so much in
Phuket this straightforward way of doing things would be just a bit
too easy.
You fnd yourself confronted by two almost identical
pony-tailed and pantaloon-wearing symbols on the
doors, so youve no idea which is yours.
Then a mini-skirted creature breezes through one of
the doors.
Clearly your gender belongs through the other and
so in you plunge... to be confronted by the screams of
startled females.
In your haste you forgot that Phukets most beautiful
'girls' are often expert gender benders. Quickly
saying goodbye to your new friends in the
girls bathroom, you pop next door where you
belong with Miss Mini-Skirt.
Herbal sauna... and enema
Deciding to try a herbal sauna, you arrive at the ramshackle
establishment feeling rather vulnerable as you change into a fimsy
cotton wrap and plunge into the steaming jaws of the sauna shed.
Its extremely hot and it takes a while for your vision to adapt, so
that only gradually do you realise that youre sharing the sauna with
six large Thai ladies sitting around enjoying a huge joke at your
expense. About the same time, you notice a blast of furnace-like
steam attacking your sensitive parts.
You dash from the sauna and pour lashings of icy water over your
toasted backside.
Oops... youve learned the hard way never to take the vacant seat in
a packed Phuket sauna... thats the one directly over the steam vent!
Sauna you than me!
A roadside wine tasting?
Just say "farang phet" for a perfect meal
Farang phet
Saunas are not the only hot things to avoid as the local cuisine,
while delicious, can be positively volcanic. The handy phrase
farang phet is worth remembering. Say it when ordering food
and the accommodating locals will spice up your dishes only to
a level acceptable to foreigners rather than to their own terrifying
standards.
While Phuket undoubtedly harbours pitfalls that you need to be
wary of, with a good sense of humour and a ready smile just like
the locals, youll have a great time negotiating the islands 'travails'.

GULLIBLES TRAVAILS
Touch down!
Stumbling jet-lagged into the startling tropical sunlight, Phuket
greets you like a slap in the face. The blinding sun has you squinting
like a near-blind old lady as you stagger from the airport to be
surrounded by an army of touts ofering a delightful assortment of
the sins for which the Orient is infamous.
Is there a bus to Patong Beach? you shout into the cloud of
cigarette smoke hovering above the greedy grins of the touts.
Indeed there is, and before you can say, How much? youll be
jammed into a crowded mini bus with an collection of other
novices and their mountains of baggage.
This is mistake number one and should be avoided.
This cramped mini bus will eventually get you to Patong, but only
after endless detours and unscheduled stops.
Far better is to look for signs for the airport bus to Phuket Town, or
catch a metred taxi by turning right as you leave the concourse.
"Look Mom, no hands!"
During your white knuckle taxi ride to your
hotel you may be shocked when your driver
takes his hands of the wheel and ofers a
wai with palms pressed together, to the
statue of two strangely-clad ladies at
the Heroines Monument. These revered
fgures are the sisters Thao Thep Kasattri
and Thao Sri Soontorn who, according
to legend, saved the island by cross-
dressing, thereby fooling
the gullible Burmese invaders after the
fall of Ayutthaya in 1767.
And, while in no way connected with
the revered ladies, the biggest billboard
youll see driving from the airport advertises Simon Cabaret,
Thailand's famous transvestite show.
Both these celebrations of gender-based deceptions serve notice
that Phuket can be a realm of trickery, where duplicity is not only
practiced, but actively celebrated.
Gullible be warned!
The unseen world
Once settled into your hotel, you
may be woken early next morning
by a huge series of explosions.
Investigation will tell you that
frecrackers, hung from the prow
of a long-tail boat, are being let of
to disperse evil spirits before the
captain and crew set of on their
seaward journey.
In Phuket the supernatural is everywhere and infuences everything
so must be placated and venerated at all times.
Zen and the art of road madness
To understand the mania that passes for driving in Phuket, it helps
to grasp that Buddhism recognises the inherent one-ness of all
things and sees supposed opposites for what they truly are: facets
of the unity of existence.
Road madness
The Heroine's Monument is highly
revered by all Phuketians
Many hapless visitors discover the hard way that
theres often more to Phuket than meets the eye.
To follow the way of the Thai driver, you too must cast of illusions
of duality, such as the duality of two trafc lanes moving in
opposite directions.
Are both lanes not part of one road? Are both directions not still
expressions of the eternal fow of all things?
When you've grasped this obviously simple concept, youll
understand why Thais naturally swerve into oncoming trafc to
overtake and why they are completely serene as they travel along
a road the wrong way!

Lemongrass founder, Bobby Duchowny, studied aromatherapy
a healing art that promotes massage, when combined with specifc
herb and spice oils, as a method to reduce stress, boost energy and
heal certain physical ailments at the American Aromatherapy
Association.
Some years ago while on holiday in Thailand, he visited an organic
farm in Petchaboon province and became interested in the natural
healing properties of Thai herbs and spices.
I was particularly attracted to lemon grass as it was used in many
popular Thai foods, as a medicine for stomach disorders and even
as a repellent for mosquitoes, he recalls.
Bobby used lemon grass as his signature herb to create a line of
essential oils, face and body creams, shower gels and bath crystals,
which he and his wife Palita sold at Bangkoks world-famous
Weekend Market.
What started, several years ago, as a modest enterprise has
blossomed into a successful operation ofering over 90 oils and
a wide range of body care products through many outlets, as
well as supplying many of Thailands top resorts and spas with
aromatherapy oils.
Our advantage is that we produce the freshest spa products and our
stock is never kept longer than three months; using fresh spa products
can be likened to eating fresh food rather than processed food.
Based on his years of experiences at some of the top spas in
Southeast Asia, Bobby has developed a full line of healthy skin care
products. For example, his hydrating face and body creams have

25 percent aloe vera, white orchid and cucumber extracts. And hes
developed a revitalizing mineral muscle soak made from Andaman
Sea salt crystals, blended with white orchid and chamomile extracts,
to help draw out impurities and soothe and revive tense muscles.
People are sensitive to diferent scents at diferent times of day.
Its a good idea to get a variety of essential oils and experiment
with what smells and feels good to you, he says. Our aromatherapy
massage and body oils can be either uplifting or calming to the
spirit. Theyre carefully balanced hand-blended oils created by
adding pure essential oils to nourishing, vitamin E enriched, sweet
almond and jojoba base oils.
Lemongrass has won many awards, including Cond Nast Hot List
2007, and has been featured in several top magazines, including
Time Magazines Best of Asia. According to Time, If you want to

Chilled out by the soothing background music, I was flled with a
peaceful wellbeing as I enjoyed the warm traditional Sukko welcome of
the Flower Floating Ritual like Loy Kratong, where the idea is to foat
away past stresses and wish for luck and joy from that moment on
A variety of 40 spa treatments prepared by Sukko's certifed Thai
Herbalist and based on ancient Thai medical theory is ofered at
Sukko, in packages lasting from 2 to 4 hours. Each package has a
specifc purpose and can be selected to suit your lifestyle or the
way you feel on the day. These herbal recipes and procedures have
been handed down through generations and are totally free of
petrochemicals, synthetic perfumes or colouring. Some of the herbs
and spices are grown in Sukkos own herb garden and picked just for
your treatment, ensuring they are as fresh as can be.
I was pampered with the Be Balanced package; a 3-hour experience
that left me feeling relaxed and refreshed. This 3-treatment
combination began with 30 minutes in the steam room and the
Jacuzzi, followed by a Thai Turmeric Body Scrub designed to soften
your skin and awaken your senses. The scrub was followed by Sukko
Synergy Body Massage (see description opposite).
Is this pressure okay? Too strong? How are you feeling? my therapist
asked me from time to time. Mmmperfect were the only
responses that seemed to suit how I felt.
Sukko Spas restaurant, Suk Savoey Spa Cuisine, presents a unique
concept: "Menu by Blood Types" and "Menu by Elements". For those
who want to exercise, the Suk Sanan Club provides a myriad of ftness
opportunities, including Rue Sri Dat Ton (the hermit self stretching),
a traditional Thai exercise or, for something more strenuous, try Thai
Martial Arts, a traditional and efective art of self-defense.
Sukko means "Beyond Happiness". My frst feeling when I stepped through the impressive gates of
Sukko Spa was, "Im in paradise". The Sukko staf are dressed beautifully in traditional Thai style and the spa design,
infuenced by the ancient Siamese capital, creates a haven of calm yet regal serenity. I felt I had left all my troubles behind.

Concept
The name for our development was conceived from its natural
surroundings, perched high on a lush tropical hillside overlooking
a pristine bay. This exclusive low density estate of just 53
condominium units has been designed for discerning buyers that
appreciate the diference between a product that simply ofers a
view, and those that appreciate the optimum, namely The View.
Our architects have also drawn inspiration from nature to produce
a simple yet stunning building form that is modeled on the shape
and mass of ocean waves. The cleverly arranged tiers of units and
blocks represent the graceful curve of a wave and its continual
movement.
Location
The View is conveniently located on a private elevated position
overlooking the three cosmopolitan beaches of Kata, Karon and
Kata Noi, on the prestigious western sunset coastline of Phuket,
only about 800m away from the beach and just 45 minutes drive
south of Phuket International Airport.
Kata district is home to pristine beaches, high quality restaurants,
cafs, spas and banks with a pace of life generally considered
to be quiet and relaxed. For those searching for more frenetic
nightlife or shopping, the town of Patong is just 12 minutes
drive north. Beautiful Chalong Bay with its marina and expatriate
supermarkets is 10 minutes drive to the east with historical
Phuket Town 15 minutes drive further east.

average of 77,000 baht per sqm. Construction is expected to start in
June this year, with a projected 1.5 years completion date.
On top of this, the developers are also ofering an excellent rental
return of 7% per annum for 3-5 years. Rental arrangements will be
operated with a hotel-like management style to ensure that tenancy
rates remain high.

The scenario is all too familiar a disgruntled party goes to a
lawyers of ce with an urgent request for legal assistance to stop
another partys wrongdoings. The disgruntled party then asks the
lawyers if they can fle for an immediate order from a court ordering
the other party causing harm to stop their actions.
Such orders in common law jurisdictions are known as injunctions,
and come in diferent legal forms : preliminary (meaning before
judgment); permanent (at the time of judgment); mandatory or
preventative; and restraining orders. For those not so keen on
legalese, an injunction generally refers to an order of a court of
law preventing a person/company from continuing an action, or
compelling them to act in a certain way.
Recently, Samsung and Apple made global headlines in their
intellectual property litigation, with such cases highlighting the role
of injunctions in litigation. However, injunctions are not limited to
major court battles and are often sought in much smaller disputes,
including breach of contract, damage to property, and small
company shareholder litigation.
In Thailand, injunctions are known as provisional measures before
judgment (i.e. preliminary injunctions), or for the permanent types,
fnal judgment orders. They are commonly alleged in complaints,
but are they commonly granted as a remedy in a dispute?
Generally, the answer lies in the type of provisional measure, order,
or injunction a party is seeking to obtain from a Court.
Provisional measures before judgment
Section 254 of the Civil Procedure Code of Thailand sets out the
basic rules for provisional measures before judgment, and expressly
excludes so-called petty cases which is defned to be a small
value case under Section 189 as less than 40,000 THB, but can be
in practice discretionary and taken on a case-by-case basis. Thus,
for the disgruntled party seeking such court sanctioned relief, the
case generally needs to be of fairly signifcant value, or there needs
to be a serious issue at stake in which imminent harm is likely to be
inficted on the party seeking the relief if the provisional measure is
not granted. In fact, the request for provisional relief must generally
be related to (1) seizure of property in dispute; (2) a request to
restrain another person from continued wrongful acts, or to restrain
the transfer or disposal of property in dispute; (3) to request the
extinguishment of an act to register rights against the property in
dispute; or (4) to request a warrant to detain a defendant.
Additionally, any application for a provisional measure before
judgment, must be submitted with an actual complaint (i.e. law-
suit). Accordingly, a plaintif cannot just merely request a court to
issue pre-judgment remedial measure. The plaintif must ultimately
prove that they have been harmed at trial on the merits.
Clearly, the statutory requirements for provisional measures before
judgment are intended to streamline the number of requests to
the court for provisional measures before judgment. The courts do
not wish to see on overabundance of such requests fled for each
and every small dispute. However, in practice, the courts are often
reluctant to grant such measures even in large cases. The reason is
that under the Section 254, ultimately the courts have the power to
grant or dismiss these requests, and therefore have broad statutory
discretion. Furthermore, in our frms experience, there is often a
sense that the case needs to be proven frst, prior to action being
taken by a court ordering parties to act in a certain way.
This isnt to say that courts never grant provisional measures. They are
just rarely granted, and only in cases where clear evidence is shown
by the party seeking the provisional measure before judgment
is necessary to protect clear interests, and where ultimately court
ordered compensation on the case may not be suf cient.
Final judgment orders
On the other hand, judgment orders (which are essentially
permanent injunctions) are of a diferent nature and status than
provisional measures before judgment, and are frequently granted
as part of a judgment in a case. Parties fling court cases in Thailand
can allege both damages (i.e. compensation) and request a court to
issue a fnal order compelling a party to act in a certain way (i.e. to
remove a building encroaching on another persons property).
One apparent reason for courts being more willing to grant fnal
orders preventing or requiring other parties to act in a certain
way, is because the case has already been tried on the merits,
and evidence presented and questioned by the litigants and the
judge. Furthermore, to obtain such orders, the plaintif actually
has to request in the complaint the specifc order of relief, and it is
therefore thought that the request is made clear for the defendant
to counter in trial. To not request an order, can ultimately preclude
the order from being granted.
Conclusion
Injunctions are available as a remedy in cases fled in Thailand.
However, the likelihood of obtaining an injunction depends on
the case and the type of injunction sought. Generally, provisional
measures before judgment are dif cult to obtain as courts are
reluctant to grant them. On the other hand, judgments frequently
order litigants to take actions in a certain manner or way as a result
of the trial of the case on the merits.
Any parties considering seeking to stop another party from taking
certain wrongful actions, should seek legal advice to determine if
an injunction is a viable remedy to seek in a court case.

The need for integration.
The key systems of security are intrusion detection, access control, and video
surveillance. If each of these systems is installed separately, administration
and training can burden a company or property owner.
Intrusion alarms occur on one system, access badges are administered in
a stand-alone database, and intelligent digital video technology runs on
dedicated computer equipment. Each system requires service, maintenance,
administration, and training.
ISS single system enables greater fexibility to add security components that
can be easily integrated into the overall system, keeping the cost of capital
expenditure low, and requiring little additional training.

PAUL ROPP : WHATS IN A NAME BY SALVADOR BALI
Paul Ropp today Paul Ropp 15 years ago
carousing the streets of New York, all of a sudden there was
Paul Ropp, always Paul Ropp, making a showing without
anybody knowing, and always with a positive humble sponge
giant ego, a man who lived way beyond his means, but
somehow always made it work, again which always led to the
legend, the mystic... who the hell is this guy?
One day hes the road manager for the Paul Butterfeld Blues
band and running all around Woodstock, then another day
friends of mine were smoking marijuana cigarettes with rolled
cigarette papers bearing the American Flag or US dollar bills,
passing the joint. Hey, who came up with this crazy idea, Paul
Ropp, ha, seriously... so on and so forth as the legend persists.
Of to India Paul goes, presumably to fnd Baba Awesome and
to become a groovy guru, but not this time, Paul is right on
target with the fashion trend with the Chinese Tibetan T-Shirt
company, amazing variations of colors, creativity and style,
pictures of the Hindu Elephant Gajha, Buddhas and the like;
wish I had a few of those today. Then comes another legend
in his own right, John De Coney who invented the word
'Volumetric' for the hair industry, the cutting sculpture of mens
long hair, and there was Paul working with Paul Mitchell, the
icon of hair.
John as well took of to Goa, India, then to Bali, follow-up in
Pauls own words. A couple I'd introduced in Brazil, and then
married in Central Park, New York, helped deliver their baby in
Goa, India in 1976, and having their second child in Bali asked
me if I could help deliver that one. Not having enormous
amounts of money, I decided to put it together with a business
trip. Bali ofered me the opportunity because there were so
many creative people here that I used my creative nature and
my abilities to bring hand-made fabric from India and started to
develop a handloom industry. OK, a decade has passed and I'd
encountered Paul on occasion in New York, always with some
new handy craft or at the fashion trade shows, but never really
PAUL ROPP
what's in a name
I met Paul Ropp during the '60s in New York City, the time
Positively 4th Street and Like a Rolling Stone, and for sure the
times, were a changing; attitudes, revolutionary thoughts
and spirituality and creativity abounded uptown, down
town, across town and, not unlike myself, here there and
everywhere. Greenwich Village scene, the music scene,
theatre district, the night club scene, Woodstock, or just
69
knowing what he was about in Asia, especially Bali, which he
always taunted me with to come, and get a look at something
other than the rat race of New York. The time had come and
I found myself in Bali in 1987 at Mades Warung, sitting there
Paul with John de Coney, well, well look whos here. I was
immediately taken under their wings and never looked back;
look what turned out from a two week vacation.
Over this time I watched Paul Ropp grow and grow into a
fashion icon, constantly coming up with designs and products
ranging from handicrafts, jewelry and all kinds of accessories
all set in Paul Ropp fashion style. Then events, runway shows
never seen in Bali before and the beat goes on to stores in
Thailand extending internationally. Hard to imagine Bali these
days without Paul Ropp fashion. Since my arrival in Bali, I've
established myself as something of a journalist under the
pen name Salvador Bali, and I've interviewed the rich and the
famous and the sick and the shameless, but there's only one
Paul Ropp, honest, integrity, man of his word, always there to
extend a helping hand, all behind this exterior of having to be
strong willed in the crazy world of production and fashion. But
dig a bit and you'll fnd a heart of gold.
I'd like to visit Paul in his dreams; for sure it would be one hell
of a whacky universal theme park with a never ending circus
"I watched Paul Ropp grow and grow into a
fashion icon constantly coming up with designs
and products ranging from handicrafts, jewelry
and all kinds of accessories and all set in Paul
Ropp fashion style"
PAUL ROPP : WHATS IN A NAME
mind. I once asked Paul, when is enough, enough? Never was
the answer, its fusion, one thing leads to another,
I stop, I die. Its all about creativity, thats what keeps you young
and enthusiastic. I would say Paul went the mountain and
met them all. What did they all have in common? The view, in
short, that art is life. Full thrust and on with every endeavor of
production, detail, and that my friends is called passion.
So whats in a name? Do you think it just happens like some
magical gift looking towards the universe in a colourful
way, one, two, three and Shazaam? No way honey! Find and
bring the fabric from around the world, design, produce,
detail, overseeing, manufacturing, production, on and on in
third world countries requiring patience, then sales, shops,
marketing, staf, ups and downs, frustration , deadlines, ah,
I could go on and on; we're talking major pressure here.
Whatever people may say, and they always do, heres Paul
Ropp, and smiling.

Holiday villas have become a very popular alternative to hotel
rooms in recent years, hence the increasing demand and supply of
holiday rental properties. This is especially so if the party is a group
of more than two adults and a couple of kids. Just the thought of
squeezing everyone into standard size hotel rooms is not a good
start to a great holiday. Therefore the option of renting a villa has
become very appealing in recent times.
Firstly, a holiday villa is very much like a home-away-from-home. It
has virtually everything your home has or more. Holiday villas can
range from 2-7 bedroom villas and can cater from two up to at least
15 in-house guests at any one time. Therefore if its an extended
family afair, 2-3 families or a group of friends holidaying together
then a holiday villa is the perfect solution.
High end holiday villas can be from USD 3,000 to USD 5,000 per night
over the high season. This would include a full service personalised
staf that will look after your every whim and fancy including a
villa manager, maids, chef and even a driver or nanny on request. To
command such a price, these high-end villas are usually in the best
locations around the island boasting spectacular sea views.
A swimming pool in such villas is a standard facility, but most
of the views from these pools are quite breathtaking and worth
more than an Instagram photo. Swimming in an infnity edge pool
dramatically overlooking a clif to the Andaman sea is quite an
experience. Some villas even come complete with a fully equipped
gym, massage and sauna room, entertainment room with pool
table or even a soundproof cinema room for 15 pax with its own
pop corn machine.
The other popular holiday rentals are longer term, between 1-3
months, and are now increasingly favoured among holiday makers
escaping from frigid temperatures back home who would like to
stay in an all-year 'hot and sunny' location like Phuket.
Depending on location, bedrooms required and also the rental
period, monthly rentals could start as low as THB 45,000 to THB
350,000 per month, excluding utilities like water and electricity.
However the monthly rental price would normally include wif and
pool, garden and maid services.
Due to the popularity and demand for villa holiday rentals, it is
advisable to secure a booking as early as possible. This will aford
you with more choices as well as fexibility when choosing the
appropriate property early.
We are starting to get enquires for short term villa rentals for the year
end 2014 and as early as for 2015. So if you are thinking of being in
Phuket for your next holiday and would like to rent a villa instead of
a hotel room, drop us an email Phuket@engelvoelkers.com and we
will assist you in renting that holiday villa.

Phukets beautiful beaches are an essential asset for the
island's long term prosperity they attract millions of
visitors annually. However competition for these tourists
is increasing and so Phukets tourist industry recognises
the need to adapt and respond to the growing consumer
demands in this area, which is why Safer Phuket is working
with its partner hotels to bring the new ISO 13009 Beach
Management standard to Phukets beaches.
It may come as a surprise to many but there has been no
international standard for beach safety and management. In
Europe there has been the Blue Flag scheme, which has achieved
success, but the absence of a single worldwide standard has
made comparisons dif cult. Now, the ISO 13009 standard
establishes the general requirements for beach operators. It
provides advisory guidance regarding the delivery of sustainable
management and planning, beach ownership and legislative
responsibilities, sustainable infrastructure and service provision
needs (beach safety, information and communication, cleaning
and waste removal). The overarching aim is to provide beach
operators with recommended advice towards delivering a
quality service and experience for all.
Martin Carpenter, one of Safer Phuket's founders, states, "There is
increasing pressure from tour companies, embassies and other
stakeholders to reinforce guest safety in Phuket. Safer Phuket is
spearheading the drive to deliver international safety standards
which is why we are working with hotels in this transition to ISO
13009 status." It is of utmost importance that our beaches and
coastal waters are well managed and maintained and hotels play
a key role in this. Safer Phuket Hotel Partner Programme gives
them a voice and infuence.
Co-founder, Duncan Stewart, adds, "Hotels that join our Hotel
Partner Programme can focus on guest care and engagement,
while Safer Phuket facilitates a safer coastal water environment,
from beach management with professional lifeguards to tour
boat skipper training and accreditation. Many hotels consider
that control and administration of beaches is outside of their
infuence. But as a Safer Phuket partner collaborating with other
Safer Phuket hotel partners spearhead drive to world class beaches
IMAGE asia welcomes the opportunity to partner with
Safer Phuket to help bring about improved safety on
Phuket's beaches and the surrounding waters.
www.saferphuket.org
www.facebook.com/saferphuket
safety conscious hotels, we can establish safety and standards
that guests need and will increasingly demand."
Safer Phuket is an internationally recognised not-for-proft social
enterprise that is privately funded, therefore independent. It has
been recognised and supported by the Thai Interior Department,
Phuket Governor Maitri and the British Embassy, Bangkok, as
well overseas expert organisations such as RYA (Royal Yachting
Association), RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institute) and SLSA (Surf
Lifesaving Australia). They are attracting an increasing number of
commercial sponsors as a part of a collaborative efort.
Phuket Lifeguard Club recently received an AED (Automatic
External Defbfrillator) from USA company, Zoll, one of the worlds
leading defbrillator manufacturers. This will be based at the Nai
Harn beach project and, with its installation, there will be Advanced
Life Support training given by Bangkok Hospital experts for to all
lifeguards so that they can operate the full chain of survival.
Phuket can be the frst island in the world to have all its beaches
ISO certifed and after a bleak period of bad news and visitor
reductions, this has to be a move to demonstrate a commitment
to a brighter future.
Phuket can set world benchmarks by being the frst to gain this
beach management and safety standard.

Songkran in Phuket
No visitor who has ever been here during the month of
April can have avoided coming into contact with the
enchanting, hilarious, and occasionally exasperating
and downright dangerous watery explosion of public
celebration which is Songkran. Songkran the Thai new
year is Thailand's most celebrated festival is. It starts
on April 13 and lasts for between three and 10 days,
depending on where youre resident.
For most, its lots of fun and an excuse to cool of at
what is usually the hottest time of the year. A mass water
throwing in Phuket is generally confned to a single day
(13 April), and to specifc zones in Phuket City at Saphan
Hin and at Rawai Beach, Kata/Karon Beaches, Nai Yang
Beach, Surin Beach and Patong Beach. Songkran in Patong
usually begins the evening before April 12, when normal
activities in the bars cease, and the world's biggest water
carnival begins. If youre staying in one of the tourist centres
like Patong, there really is no way of avoiding a soaking,
unless you stay in your hotel.
For more information: on Songkran festival contact: Tourism
Authority of Thailand Phuket of ce, Tel: 0-7621-1036 or visit
website: www.tat.or.th/phuket.
If you would believe the brochures, Phuket is about
beach, beach and more beach, with a leavening of
late-night parties. However, this island of ours has
lots of other activities. Heres a selection of these
which we hope will enrich your holiday experience,
and they wont break the bank.
