Feature Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek
ASIAN YACHTING GRAND PRIX

Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek, the ninth edition of Phukets home-grown international yacht regatta, marks the start of the 2012/13 Asian Yachting Grand Prix campaign to decide the coveted Asian Yachtsman of the Year title. The regatta will be held from 18-22 July 2012.
About 40 yachts and up to 500 yacht owners, captains, crew, families and friends from more than 20 countries will descend on the luxury Cape Panwa Hotel on Phukets southeast coast for four days of intense, but fun, competition and five nights of glittering beachside parties. The financial benefit of this regatta to Phuket businesses is much higher than the numbers suggest, said Grenville Fordham, managing director of rights owners and organisers, Image Asia Events Co., Ltd. Yacht repairs, servicing and provisioning go alongside hotel accommodation, marina berthing, wining and dining around the island, transport and other services to bring in many millions of baht in direct tourism revenue from this high spending sector. In addition, we pump about 5 million baht into local suppliers for infrastructure, entertainment, boat hire, logistics and other services, he added.
KICKS OFF IN PHUKET

Reliably good winds on the water, and attention to the highest quality onshore, have made Phuket Raceweek a firm favourite of regional and international sailors for many years, and in 2011, the regatta was officially recognised as Best Asian Regatta at the Asia Boating awards in Hong Kong one of only two South East Asian regattas to receive the accolade at the time. Hosting the event for the first time this year, Cape Panwa Hotel (part of the Kasemkij Hotels group) recently signed a multi-year Title Sponsorship deal to name and host the regatta. This new partnership is a perfect fit with our position in the market, said Tirawan Pangsrivongse, Kasemkij Hotels Project Development Manager, adding that Phuket is a leader in Thailand in promoting the fast-growing sports tourism sector.
About Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek

Coming into its ninth year, Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek comprises four days of worldclass yacht racing and four nights of awesome beachside parties all captured for international TV broadcast to 140 million households. Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek, the first event on the 2012/2013 Asian Yachting Grand Prix Circuit, is run over six or seven classes including Racing, Multihull, Cruising and Bareboat Charter. The regatta has gained a reputation for its competitive racing for the serious racers and fun courses around the islands for the less serious yachtsmen.

Feature Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek

Commenting on the number of entries expected for the 2012 regatta, Fordham said, Although formal entries tend to come in during the final month preceding the regatta, entries at this stage are a bit higher than they were at this time last year and theres a positive buzz in the yachting community, so we anticipate a strong fleet this year. And the feeling we get from participants is that theyre looking forward very much to the new venue. Online registration for Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek 2012 is open with a very special offer for entries registered before June 17.

International Primary Curriculum

The IPC focuses childrens learning on a combination of knowledge, skills and understanding. No one can properly predict the nature of work and life opportunities that will be available for todays primary age children by the time they are adults. Many of the jobs they will have dont yet exist; especially in the fields of ICT, technology and science. So the IPC focuses on a skillsbased approach, developing adaptable and resilient globally-minded learners, prepared for the fast-changing world that theyll be living and working in.
About the School

With the backdrop of the Andaman Sea and over an acre of grounds, Palm House School aims to provide children with an idyllic, caring and modern primary school experience. Using the IPC, delivered by experienced and driven teachers with a passion for their profession, Palm House will join the thousands of other IPC schools around the world in providing a stimulating and balanced curriculum in a logical and thematic manner.

About Chef Jean Louis Lon

Jean Louis, a native of the beautiful coastal region of Bretagne, in the north west of France, graduated from culinary school in 1987. Since then his passion for travel and adventure has fueled his sojourns around world, embracing different tastes and cultures, and allowing him to work and learn from top hotels and restaurants in Switzerland, Eastern Europe, the UK, Caribbean, Africa, Oceania and finally Asia. Chef Jean has experienced working in different environments from big grand hotels like Le Meridien, to small private yachts of the rich and famous in the Carribean, but he eventually found his niche in small boutique resorts where his penchant for creative dishes and a personal touch really makes a difference. In October 2006, AHMS owner and founder, Khun Anchalika Kijkanakorn, after sampling his creations in Seychelles, invited him over to head the culinary team of Aleenta Resort & Spa, Phuket-Phangnga. He has been with the resort ever since, bringing culinary delights to this beautiful gem of a resort located on the stunning Natai Beach. Thailand is a magical destination where a chef like me can feel... complete. You have beautiful ingredients, tip-top table ware designed to my liking and a lot of people who share my passion for beautiful and delicious dishes. When I get that urge to express myself, the blue sky is the limit in Thailand! He also feels lucky to have a strong team behind him, most of whom have stayed with him from the very beginning, growing and learning with him in Aleenta. The company itself also suits him, with its taste for adventure and innovation, yet rustic and down to earth. Today, Chef Jean, as he is still called, is the resorts F&B Director and is regularly asked to lend his expertise in other AHMS resorts. He walks around the resort with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, telling you that there is still something new and exciting brewing in his lab, err, kitchen!

Sukko Cultural Spa

Sukko means "Beyond Happiness". My first feeling when I stepped through the impressive gates of the Sukko spa was, "Im in paradise". The Sukko staff are dressed beautifully in traditional Thai style and the spa design, influenced by the ancient Siamese e capital, creates a haven of calm yet regal serenity. I felt I had left all my troubles behind.
The Best Spa In Southeast Asia
Chilled out by the soothing background music, my mind was filled with a peaceful wellbeing as I enjoyed the warm traditional welcome (again from Sukko culture) of the Flower Floating Ritual similar to Loy Kratong, where the idea is to float away past stresses and wish for luck and joy from that moment on. A variety of 40 spa treatments prepared by Sukko's certified Thai Herbalist and based on ancient Thai medical theory is offered at Sukko, in packages lasting from 2 hours to 4 hours. Each package has a specific 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 three-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 awakening your senses. The scrub was followed by Sukko Special Body Massage, performed by hands, using finger pressure on energy points and smooth strokes along energy lines. During the movements of the massage, the molecules of
essential oils in Sukko elegant aromatic massage oils will be absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream to benefit the nervous system and other parts of the body. 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 Element". For those who want to exercise, the Suk Sanan Club provides a myriad of fitness 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 effective art of self-defense.

Lemongrass House
To visit this home of award-winning spa oils, creams, soaps and so many other exquisite products is a delight. The aromas are enchanting. At Lemongrass, you can enjoy a spa treatment to sample and choose from their huge range, then take home your choice to enjoy at your leisure. They even have a great range of kids spa products.
Bobby Duchowny studied aromatherapy a healing art that promotes massage, when combined with specific 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 offering 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 per cent 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 different scents at different 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 handblended 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 smell like no one else, try mixing a selection from the more than 90 natural scents at Lemongrass House. Lemongrass House is located in Cherngtalay, Surin Beach and Chalong, where you can buy their full range of spa products at modest prices, making perfect gifts for friends and family who can enjoy the aromatic scents of Asia in the privacy of their homes no matter where in the world they live.

The Royal Spa

To experience The Royal Spa is to feel the true beauty of nature and reflect on the power of body, mind and spiritual connections.
The Royal Spa and Health Club

In the heart of bustling Phuket Town lies a quiet haven of heavenly peace. With the continuous sounds of water, trickling, bubbling and steaming, and with the sweet fruity scents that fill the air, the being is enticed into a flowing stillness of body and mind. The Royal Spa and Health Club is a popular tropical day spa with both locals and visitors alike, which is managed by the Royal Spa Development and Management Company. With an excellent reputation in the spa development industry through its experience and attention to detail, the Royal Spa and Health Club offers a distinctly personal experience. Of the signature treatments, the Royal Stone Therapy is one that is particularly interesting. The Hot Stone massage technique, founded 5000 years ago, uses black volcanic stones, which are heated and placed on the body, producing a profound effect, stilling the mind and easing the body. Unlike many of the high-end spa complexes on the island, which market themselves exclusively to tourists, the reasonable prices and relaxed but professional staff at the Royal Spa, means that many local Thais, as well as tourists, are beginning to use the spa. This has helped to erase the often stiff, and over-formal atmosphere at many of Phukets spa resorts, giving the Royal Spa an ambience of authentic relaxation and pleasure. All the therapists working at the Royal Spa have been trained at the in-house 'Phuket Spa Academy', established in 2004, to provide a comprehensive spa training course. The curriculum and assessments provide a measurement of therapist expertise and knowledge within the Thai spa industry. Since then, the Royal Spa Development and Management Company have provided comprehensive and professional spa management, and development programs, for spa retreats throughout Thailand. Their aim is to provide a standard of service and expertise throughout the Thai spa industry, to ensure a high quality of service and standard of treatment, throughout Thailand. It truly offers the one stop services for Thai spa business and a quality of relaxed professionalism, rarely found in luxury spa resorts. Right now The Royal Spa have 12 branches that are managed in resorts in Patong, Kata, Karon, Panwa, Ao Chalong and Phuket Town and you are welcome to experience our spas with us anytime. As a special for our 8th year anniversary, we offer 'BUY ONE GET ONE FREE' value.

People Profile
Tirawan Pangsrivongse
Business Development Manager of the Kasemkij Hotels group, owners of the iconic Cape Panwa Hotel Title Sponsor of Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek 2012 describes how family ties form the strong foundation of her business and personal life.
Where were you born and where are you living now? I was born in Bangkok and Im still living here. Could you tell us more about Cape Panwa Hotel? Cape Panwa Hotel was founded in 1987 on a beautiful hillside location on a secluded beach. Last year, we completed a renovation that reduced the number of rooms and converted them all into large suites. Were currently renovating the pool villas and Panwa Lodge, and in August were opening a new two-bedroom penthouse suite that has its own private spa, a big pool and butler service. Its like a private villa. Could you tell us more about your work in general? In my role as Business Development Manager, Im more involved with new Kasemkij properties. We have 15 properties and are now opening two more. I start them off then turn them over. One of our latest projects is the Cape Nidhra resort in Hua Hin, which opened last year. It has 59 rooms, all with pools. This was the first project that I developed myself from scratch, and I was involved with everything from designing the uniforms to selecting the chopsticks. My dad (Kasemkij owner and Managing Director Khun Tirapongse) asked me to help develop the project, which is on land that once had my grandmothers house. Its a sentimental piece of land for us, so I wanted to do it myself. But Im not sure if my dad wants me to get involved in any more because of the budget! Lately Ive been getting more involved with operations and marketing. In a typical week I spend around three or four days in Bangkok, then two or three days at one of our properties around Thailand, either to check a site under construction or visit a finished project. We have meetings at every hotel three times a year, so I spend at least three months a year outside of Bangkok. When Im in Bangkok Im at the office or in meetings, or checking suppliers such as furniture factories. We also operate two serviced apartments in Bangkok. Serviced apartments are the main focus of our business, as well as warehouses and offices for rent. Whats your view on how to be successful in business? I dont see myself as successful yet. Im learning from my dad, who is teaching me by example. When he teaches me things, its usually not related to business directly but more philosophical. Hell give us books and videos about how to live your life. What Ive learned from him is that in this business you need to have a very hands-on style. You cant just invite your hotel general manager to have a meeting at your office. We go to every hotel and look around, taste the food. When youre in the office you can see the financial side of the business but you wont know how the tom yam goong tastes, or how the uniforms look, unless you go there. Tell us about your style of leadership. Again, I follow my dads example. You have to be hands-on, go as deep as possible, and ask a lot of questions. We have quite a strong team. Some of our staff have been there since day one of the business, so its often more about them teaching me how to lead; its a two-way learning process. I bring some new ideas and they have the internal knowledge. Cape Panwa Hotel is the main sponsor for this years Phuket Raceweek regatta. What made you decide to get involved with this event? When we got a proposal from Phuket Raceweek we could see that this is a good thing for Phuket and Thailand. It was also a good match with our hotel because we have yachts for charter, speedboats and a jetty. We thought it would be a good opportunity to promote the hotel and showcase our new rooms and restaurants, as well as show off our location, which is on one of the most beautiful beaches in Phuket. This is about Cape Panwa we want people to come and see this part of the island. When youre in Phuket, where do you like to go? I like to go to Raya restaurant in Phuket Town, and I love just relaxing on Cape Panwa Beach, or having a cocktail and a walk along the beach. Sometimes Ill take a boat out to nearby islands. Weve done overnight trips to Koh Lipe. When youre not working, what are your favourite things to do? I love travelling. I like adventure such as rock climbing on Krabi's Railay Beach. One of my brothers is in London, so we go there once a year. Im planning a trip to Botswana and Mozambique this year. Its interesting to see different cultures, and I always get new ideas when staying at different hotels. Its an eye-opener. Some of the most amazing hotels in the world are not the big chains. How old are you? Ive just turned 30, which seems like a lot! At this age you feel like you have to be an adult, you have to be mature. Weve heard that you recently married. How is married life so far? Its good. Were planning to travel more this year. Can you tell us more about your family? Im very close with my family. I have two brothers, twins, who are 11 years younger than me. One is studying at Cambridge in England while the other is at Princeton in the US. Im not sure if they'll join the family business after they graduate. My dad's great he says he doesnt mind if they do something else. He tells us that he worked hard so that his kids could live comfortably and do whatever they want. If they want to be an artist or a writer or anything else hell give them his full support. My mother has not been involved with the business since having kids, but she still gives us a lot of good opinions. Shes busy with charity work these days. Im very close to my grandparents as well we have lunch together five times a week. I love what we have, and I hope my own family will be this way, too. Its about the effort you put in. You try to visit everyone and get involved. Its not out of obligation. I want to do it. My family members have become my best friends. What do you think the future holds for you? I hope to continue doing what I love. I want to see the company grow in the right direction: firmly, strongly, maturely. In about five years I'd like to take the business beyond Thailand, especially the serviced apartments branch. Id like to have children, too, but we'll wait for at least a year. Id first like to travel to some more weird places! For further information about Kasemkij Group Tel: +66 (0)2 233 3433 Website: www.kasemkij.com

e Panwa Cap
Welcome to the Phuket Hot List, our bi-monthly series that highlights the happenings and notable spots around the island. This month, were delving into a pleasant pocket of land on Phukets southeast coast, the spectacular Cape Panwa.
Unique to Phuket, Cape Panwa serves up a healthy balance of both traditional island life and holiday glamour, while still retaining a sleepy seaside village feel. With roads that criss-cross a hilly interior of green jungle and plantations and loop around a dazzling coastline, plus delicious dining spots to visit along the way, Cape Panwa is Phukets ultimate Sunday drive destination.

Hot eats
Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek sailors will find plenty to keep them well satiated and in fit form with main sponsor and host Cape Panwa Hotels delicious array of eateries. The resorts Caf Andaman has just been given an uplift, while the Panwa House restaurant remains one of Phukets most impressive dining spots, serving local favourites including chili shrimp paste (nam prik kung siap) and Thai pomelo salad (yum som-o) in a super-elegant Sino-Portuguese mansion. The chic Sri Panwa pool villa resort, best known for putting on ritzy parties at its Baba Pool Club and Baba Nest bars, is now serving up fresh Thai fare in its newly-opened Baba Soul Food restaurant. The amazing views from its hillside location and flash interior with a modern take on Sino-Portuguese style deftly highlight the best of island life.
Roti Mataba
Fearing an onslaught of hungry crowds, were reluctant to reveal the location of possibly the worlds best roti shop, but its a secret too delectable to keep hidden. A divine plateful of roti (Thai style pancakes) can be found at the modest but ambitiously named International Restaurant at the corner of Sakdidet Road and Soi Saman-Utid. Hearty but not too oily, the roti can be enjoyed as a sweet snack with a bit of sugar and condensed milk or spicy with beef or chicken curry. The restaurant also serves a savoury form of roti called mataba, a flat pancake fried to crispy perfection on the outside and stuffed with a potato and egg yellow curry mix. If its cheap and cheerful youre after in Cape Panwa, this is the place to go. As intrepid island explorers, were always on the lookout for good spots to enjoy a refreshment or three. On Ao Yon, the tiny jewel of a bay wedged between Chalong and Makham bays, there are a couple of places that offer brews with a view. Neighbouring openair restaurants Secret Cove and the Ship Inn both have a hut on a beach chilled-out ambiance thats becoming more elusive on Phuket. Theyre both excellent spots to idle away an afternoon gazing out to sea and pondering the progress of the pearls being farmed in the bay. Some fabulous yachts are often seen just offshore, too.

Its fitting that the Phuket Raceweek regatta has found a new home in Cape Panwa, since this area of Phuket has long been a favourite among sailors. Sailing is a sport that can be enjoyed by all ages, but in Ao Yon the love of sailing is fostered in the hearts of the young. We recently watched a childrens sailing course by Topper Sail in action and were impressed with the abilities that kids as young as eight displayed in steering their small Optimist yachts around the calm waters. Topper Sails Katy Gooch explained that gaining sailing skills can give kids valuable lessons in teamwork and decision making that can extend into all aspects of life. Topper Sail also runs the Phuket Youth Sailing Club, where local disadvantaged children are offered free sail training and the chance to join weekend races.

Hot Sights
Everyone loves a lookout point and the Khao Khad viewpoint tower delivers wide views across green hills and sparkling sea, plus a great drive for those who love to navigate curves and inclines. The views are unquestionably spectacular, but we find it to be a bit lifeless and disconnected from life in Cape Panwa. Better sights are often found at the heart of a local community, such as Baan Borrae. Borraes main focal point is the estuary where local fishermen moor their small vessels and can be seen preparing for another trip out to sea. If youre feeling weary of the tourist scene and looking for the real Phuket, this is a good place to start.

The individual units have large beds and wardrobes, pantry and dining facilities, spacious bathrooms with tube and showers, a lounge are with a couch and entertainment center plus a writing desk.

DUE DILIGENCE IN REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS IN THAILAND
Many types of foreign investment transactions typically contain a real estate component. Whether a manufacturer is seeking a location to build a factory, or a property investor wishes to purchase a luxury condominium, real estate is an important part of the deal. Regardless of the type of transaction, foreign investors are usually keen to have their deals completed in a quick and smooth manner. But despite the rapid pace that can characterize many transactions, due diligence on property and all matters related to that property is a step that should never be overlooked. While due diligence is usually a pre-requisite for real estate transactions across the world, in emerging markets like Thailand, such an exercise takes on an added importance. This article provides an overview of the various types of due diligence considerations that investors should consider when investing in Thailand. Title The first items on an investors agenda with regard to due diligence should be a physical inspection of the property through a qualified independent surveyor and a title search, which is a search and review of the legal documents relating to land at the government Land Office. Indeed, it is advisable that these steps occur prior to any deposit being made, but often these precautions do not take place in practice. There are a variety of different land titles in Thailand, with each having their own connotations. The title that most closely resembles freehold is Chanote, which is free to be owned and transferred. Other land titles include Nor Sor 3 Kor, Nor Sor 3, and Sor Kor 1. Nor Sor 3 Kor also indicates ownership and can be transferred. Sor Kor 1, however, indicates mere possession, and cannot be transferred. As a result, a careful inspection of the land documents should be made in order to ascertain the titles qualities and how it would affect the investment. Land Restrictions Investors should also ensure that the target property complies with relevant regulations. Such regulations include zoning issues, as well as construction and environmental issues. If, for example, a company is seeking land to establish a manufacturing facility, or a hotel is looking for a new resort location, the land must be properly zoned for such activity. Moreover, investors must carefully consider construction restrictions, such as limitations on building height and the number of rooms a structure is permitted to have, among others. Additionally, environmental issues must be examined. Enquiries should be made as to whether, for example, the property encroaches on protected land areas, such as a shoreline or national forest. Investors should also be wary of bold assurances as to what can and cannot be legally achieved within Thai law and regulation. Such assurances, if made verbally, in informal written format, or even in a contract, will not rescue an investors investment if the information or assurance is wrong under the law. It is far more preferable to check the veracity of such information through proper due diligence processes. Legal checks Various legal checks against the property and its owners should also be done as part of due diligence. This involves determining whether any litigation is pending or threatened against the land, as well as the lands owner. Litigation can involve lawsuits involving neighbors arguing over land boundaries to environmental claims brought by the government. Litigation can also involve lawsuits directly against the lands owner that seek to claim the land as damages. Additionally, a prudent investor should ensure that there are no claims for tax liability against the land or the owner. If the land and/or the land owner is subject to any kind of liability, the investor will generally assume the risk either because the property will pass with a defect, or the assets of the land owner may be attached with a legal judgment or form of enforcement, thus significantly impairing the investment.
Access A proper due diligence should also examine whether there is proper uninhibited access to property from public roads. Such issues take on special importance in rural areas. Without direct access to a public road, a person would have to traverse a neighboring land plot, causing subsequent legal, commercial, and practical problems. Therefore, a careful inspection of both the land and cadastral maps is important to determine whether proper access exists. Further checks are necessary if access is provided via a registered right, such as a servitude, in which case the reliability and security of the servitude should be reviewed. Condominiums Many of the issues pertaining to due diligence described above also apply to purchases of condominium units which are of course, built on land. Instead of a land title, units in a condominium development registered pursuant to the law have a special condominium unit title which are sold to buyers, but originates from a land title. A due diligence against a condo would include a search of all of these documents. Moreover, a search on the health of the condominium juristic person (CJP) is strongly recommended. This is generally accomplished by examining the CJPs corporate records and meeting minutes. Any statements issued by an officer of the CJP or connected persons, should be checked against the actual documents and minutes for veracity. Conclusion Investments involving real estate transactions always carry with them an inherent degree of risk in any jurisdiction. This risk can be amplified in emerging markets such as Thailand simply because investors may be encouraged to overlook due process and disciplined due diligence procedures, not necessarily because prospective investment is inherently more risky. With good due diligence, the risks can be greatly minimized. And despite the speed in which investors may want to get the deal done, taking the time for due diligence may save costly delays and financial burdens in the future.

Holiday homes Phuket has been set up specifically to accommodate the increasing number of clients looking for a short term let of a luxury villa which until now had only been available for longer terms. In order to do this we have had to create a new division capable of tailor making the individual specific requirements of this new breed of client. The benefits to both villa guests and villa owners are equally rewarding as both parties are similarly equally cared for and this is precisely what we have created Holiday Homes Phuket to provide, care and hospitality customised to our customers needs. Until now in order to acquire a luxury bespoke service the discerning traveler had to go to a 5-star branded resort and pay handsomely for the privilege. With Holiday Homes Phuket this is not necessary. We can provide far superior private villas with all the luxuries and amenities, and more, one would expect from the very best 5-star resort villa at a fraction of the price. How is this possible? We have worked very closely with a number of private landlords of select villas for a number of years and as a result have been able to fine tune the services these villas have been able to offer
through our own management services but until now we have only been able to provide this service to longer term tenants. Now we have chosen to take it a step further and our new division headed by our very experienced Rentals Manager, Hiede Depayso, can provide a customised service to even the most demanding of guests for periods as short as 3 days to as long as one month or more. Our luxury sea view villa locations include Surin, Layan, Laguna, Mao Khao, Kata on the west coast and Cape Yamu on the east coast. For the more discerning client we can provide personal chefs, chauffeur, masseuse, car hire and yacht charter, in short anything our guests wish for without the need to rob the bank.

THE CAPE CRUSADER v. THE GREEN GOBBLER

(No, its not a misprint)
Admittedly, the role of environmental (Cape) Crusader is new to me and I must declare an interest in the same way a politician is supposed to declare an interest in a business he has some influence over; but this has stirred me into action. These abusers (gobblers) of all things green, the environment, need to be stopped now. The natural beauty of this island must be preserved; the commercial interests of the few should not be allowed to flourish in direct contempt of the many. The folly, apart from the appalling visual impact, of power cables overhead has been brought 'shockingly' to our attention with the recent spell of bad weather. I spent two days traveling between offices and properties trying unsuccessfully to dodge power cuts. I would leave the misery of one hot dark office, not knowing when power would be restored, only to arrive at the other to find it had just been plunged into the mire, and finally to go home to find it too in darkness. The problem, as we all know, is that once power goes off we have no idea when it will come back on again minutes or hours. Those of us who grew up in normally less hospitable northern climes have to dig deep into our collective memories to recall the last power cut we 'enjoyed', so rare was the occurrence. Yet the weather was much more severe. What of all the lost man hours, idle staff, dumb monitors, silenced printers, failed transactions? What of the senseless cost to the country as a whole? If it's intended that all power cables eventually be placed underground, wouldn't it make sense to begin when installing a new supply?
Its a title that should have caught your attention. So all the more disappointing that it might relate to something as uninteresting as the environment. But please read on. I'm not an environmental crusader; I dont even have a particularly strong social conscience. I'm your typical member of the general public, neither do-gooder nor ill-doer. I'm more usually a casual bystander leaving the care of the environment to others, to those who claim they have our best interest at heart, to those who state their wish to see the future development of Phuket is carried out with minimal effect on the natural beauty of this so-called island paradise. So where are they? I acknowledge it's difficult to rectify past mistakes, but that these same mistakes are allowed to continue in abundance directly contrary to the proud claims made by those so-called defenders of the environment is inexcusable. Of course it's difficult to solve a century of disregard, but we keep reading that areas of outstanding beauty will be preserved. We also read that it's the intention to eventually place all power cables underground; whether we choose to believe it is another matter. I think it will happen in the Sino-Portuguese Old Town area of Phuket Town. It was no doubt a condition of it being elevated to World Heritage Site status. I did once believe that in areas of outstanding beauty, where it was essential that the scenery is preserved, any new power supply would be placed underground. After all, why incur the cost of placing it overhead only to move it underground later? Why indeed! Take a drive to Cape Yamu, an area of outstanding natural beauty and the location of many new luxury villa developments. Until last month there was not a single electric pole or power cable along the beachfront, so why would they choose to erect three new ugly electricity poles along the beachfront now? After enquiring why this had been done, I was informed that it was necessary to provide the increase in supply for the future Yamu Hotel. Why then had the cables not been placed underground? Surely the cost of this would be borne either by the electricity company who would ultimately benefit from the increased usage by a new hotel, or the hotel operators who required the new electricity supply in the first place. Why have the interests of the general public, of the people of Baan Yamu, of the environment itself been ignored?

Things to do
in Phuket
From now until October its the time of the monsoon rains. However, unlike the torrential, interminable downpour featured in the famous short story by Somerset Maugham, the title of which weve plagiarised above, the rainfall pattern here is intermittent but unpredictable. The secret therefore is to hang loose. If plan A is to go to the beach every day, its a good idea to have a plan B for those damp days. Here are some suggested plan Bs.
Phuket Museums
Museums by their nature tend to be fusty and odd and Phuket's two largest museums are no exception. Informative? Sure. Eccentric? Definitely. Let's take a stroll through time ... The Mining Museum. Housed in a large pink Sino-Portuguese style building with a courtyard and fronted by a park and lagoon, it's a rather incongruous sight in this remote, jungle-clad area of Kathu. From the space hall you enter a cave-like tunnel lined with pictures of prehistoric creatures until you come face-to-face with a hominid well, an ape-like, wild-eyed mannequin with matted black hair, crouched in a cave, stone-age tools in hand. Further along there's a more modern caveman clad in a rather fashionable-looking leopard-skin loincloth, holding a spear, looking none too pleased to see you. The next hall featuring the museum's best installation, an elaborate miniature diorama of an open-pit tin mine operation in action. Hundreds of tiny workers are seen working busily on the site, illustrated in great detail and whimsy. Phuket Thai Hua Museum: The oldest Chinese school in Phuket, Thai Hua School was built in 1911, and has now become the Thai Hua Museum serving as a community and exhibition centre for baba arts and culture. The museum is a two-storey building with the upper level balconied internally to look down on the ground floor. Many of the exhibits and artifacts relate to the art and culture of China. Some of the old schoolrooms still remain as they were in the past, with old school desks and photographs of former students. The Phuket Thai Hua Museum is on Krabi Road. Its open daily from 9am5pm. Admission 200 baht, children 100 baht. Tel: +66 (0)76 211224.
Thalang National Museum, built more than 20 years ago, also depicts scenes of times past with life-sized mannequins, the main one featuring the legendary Phuket Heroines, Lady Chan and Lady Mook, whose clever battle tactics saved the island from invading Burmese forces in 1785. Another scene shows King Rama I honouring the sisters for their bravery and bestowing them with the titles Thao Thepkrassatri and Thao Srisunthorn. A small but informative place, the museum highlights the geology, geography and people that have shaped the culture of Phuket and the Andaman region. The main entrance hall features exhibits of Thai history in general, including its ties to the ancient Khmer Kingdom, as well as the Indian influence on the Andaman regions culture and religion. Standing in the main hall is a 2.35-metre, 9th century statue of Vishnu, found in the forest of Kapong district of Phang Nga, a stunning example of Indias ancient link to the area. The museum is onSrisoonthorn Road 100 metres east of Heroines Monument. Open Wednesday-Sunday 9am-4:30pm (closed holidays). Admission 100 baht. Tel: +66 (0)76 311426, +66 (0)76 313397
Cinemas
Things to do in Phuket Still raining? Need a diversion? All the latest movies are on offer on the island. There are three excellent multiplex cinemas for you to choose from: SFX Cinema, third floor, Central Festival. Tel: +66 (0)76 209000. Coliseum Paradise Multiplex, Phuket City. Tel: +66 (0)76 220174, +66 (0)76 220175. SFX Cinema, Jungceylon, Patong. Tel: +66 (0)76 600555. While this and other, larger scenes depict some hard-working souls toiling in the mines others show those who obviously didn't pull their weight in Phuket's drive to tin-toned glory. In one hall highlighting the arrival of the Chinese by sea, you walk a plank between two large wooden ship models. Peek inside one of the boats, and you'll spot a layabout, having a snooze on the deck. Further along in the Chinese culture hall there's a man lazing on a platform bed, sucking on an opium pipe. The Museum is on Kathu-Na Koh Road about 3.5km west of British International School on the way to Loch Palm Golf Club. Open Monday-Saturday 9am-4pm. Admission: 100 baht adults, 50 baht kids. Tel: +66 (0)88 7660962

Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek

his outstanding event occurs each year as part of the Phuket yacht racing calendar. Combined with the other yacht racing events, they all are putting Phuket on the map as a location for sailing, and after racing parties. Phuket International Hospital has been providing emergency response services for these sailing regatta s for over 8 years, and during those years they have responded to many incidents, and luckily, only a few accidents. The most serious accident occurred a few years ago, when two yachts collided, crushing a crew member resulting in many fractures and a complicated extrication from the yacht to shore. Whilst not related to sailing or the events, deaths have also occurred, but much more common are those incidents related to the parties, and their effects on partygoers. Paracetamol and other hangover cures are liberally dispensed on shore by the nursing staff prior to the mornings races. It is not uncommon to have a lineup of weary and ill sailors, seeking attention as a result of overindulging in the copious
amounts of alcohol and festive activities of the previous evening. Sailing regattas in Phuket have a reputation for being fun, and it cannot be disputed that Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek has some of the best. Alcohol and sailing do not mix though, and for those who are still intoxicated, sailing is not advised. Dehydration, and alcohol does dehydrate the body, is exacerbated when performing physical activity such as sailing in the barmy tropical weather conditions that Phuket offers. Like all outdoor activities in Phuket, drinking copious amounts of non alcoholic fluids, and a daily sachet of oral rehydration salts or ORS as it is commonly called, is recommended. If you are not urinating at least every 3 hours, you are not drinking enough fluid. Phukets sun is also fierce, even with the cloud cover typical at this time of year. Sunburn is another common aliment treated by the nurses, and another ailment that with some preventative measures can be avoided. It is simple to apply some suntan lotion, wear appropriate clothing and

Cape Panwa Hotel Phuket Raceweek a hat, but you would be surprised how many of those going sailing do not do this, and how many by the end of racing look red and burnt, and not because of the parties. Anecdotal evidence also suggests that sailors have a higher incident of skin cancer, due to a long history of being exposed to the suns rays without coverage. Whilst discussing burns, every experienced sailor has at some time had rope burns, most likely caused by inexperience or when the sheets or halyards have been ripped through hands causing considerable friction on the skin, thus the burns. Like any burn, water is the treatment of choice, in order to cool the burnt area and bring the skins temperature back to 37 degrees Celsius. Preventative measures such as wearing sailing gloves whilst racing is also advisable, particularly for the inexperienced sailor. ht, Most skippers also want their racing vessels to be light, and the is diehard skipper will take all non essential items off his yacht in an effort to get more speed and a podium place. One moved essential piece of equipment that should not be removed is s the First Aid Kit, but I am surprised how many yachts do not ssings have one. Essential items such as bandages and dressings should be carried, as well as vinegar for treating jelly fish rence stings, and a first aid manual which can act as a reference for treating various situations correctly. et Dramamine is a drug readily available in most Phuket pharmacies and is an ideal treatment for sea or motion sickness. When people become sea sick, they usually take some form of medication but in the case of Dramamine, it can take up to 2 hours for the body to absorb the drug and become effective when taken in tablet form. If you are prone to sea sickness, take Dramamine well before going out on the water, even consider taking a tablet the night before, and another the next day, to ensure that the therapeutic dose is reached and maintained. If you become sea sick, and need the Dramamine to work quickly, dont swallow the tablet, but chew it and leave it in your mouth and under your tongue, as this allows your body to absorb the drug faster than through the digestive system. In the inner ear sea sickness affects the sense of balance and equilibrium as well as the sense of spatial orientation. Dramamine effectively blocks the working of the inner ear, thus reducing motion sickness. Going below deck is not recommended, as sea sickness is improved if continually focusing on the horizon, thereby stabilizing the brain on a fixed location. If you must lie down, do it on your back, with your eyes closed, or better still, keep active, and try to keep your brain focused on other tasks. Fair winds and following seas.

Mrs. Thanomkwan and Mr. Sunan Seehaluk are locals of Uttaradit province by birth. They are awarded the state concession to operate the Teak forestry industry of Uttaradit province since 1967. They had envisioned the significance of Teak forestry, the maximization of Teakwood material usage, and creating maximum counts of job opportunities for the local people. Consequently, in 1979 they set out to establish the Thasao Sawmill Limited Partnership, at Thasao Subdistrict, and the Thasao Sawmill Co., Ltd. at Thasao Subdistrict, Uttradit province, to recover raw teakwood materials left over from the concession cuts and reprocess them to maximize the usage of the stocks. In the year 2003 they started their first series of comb cutting the teak stocks from their cultivated forests as a measure of freeing up the dense spots to promote better growth, and brought the comb cut stocks into use by introducing the appropriate and necessary technology into the production processes to obtain the highest quality products, best suitable for functional uses, with the best fair-pricing scheme, under the brand name of TS teak. They also planned new annual extensions of teak forest cultivations with a systematic and organized approach to bring about the highest efficiency thereof of the whole process, bringing in various technologies to support the plantations to achieve highest level of efficiency. Because after having reclaimed the comb cut teak stocks and put them in to the revival manufacturing processes, the products from which are now gaining acceptances of general customers. With the universal awareness of the Global Warming situation, we all must take part in the responsibility of not using the wood materials that have their origins from natural forests. We all must contribute to adding up oxygen supply to our planet earth. And by the awareness and the responsibility as a leader in forest cultivation, all comb cut wood stocks from the cultivation process are to be revived and put into use with minimal waste and maximum usefulness, reducing uses of other natural wood materials that require hundreds or thousands of years to produce, supporting the concept of Sufficiency Economy, creating job employments for local people, cutting their chances of having to leave their homes to seek employment, building stronger family bonds and lessening social problems.
