#SEAZENCONDO If you are thinking of moving to Pattaya to live or already live in the city and want not only a change of scenery, but a change in lifestyle, the #BangSaray region is one of the next big things. Gaining a reputation for being the ‘Riviera of Thailand’, Bang Saray merges a stunning beach, the ultimate high-end living environment, beautiful natural surroundings, some of the most famous holiday attractions in the region and state-of-art real estate developments.
#BEAUTIFULBANGSARAY About Bang Saray #BeautifulBangSaray is situated just a 20-minute drive south of Pattaya and is a true paradise destination for those who seek a charming place to live that merges breathtaking scenery, pristine beaches and 5-star infrastructure and amenities that appeals to Western tastes. In the not-too-distant past, Bang Saray was just a dreamy and tranquil fishing village that was merely an afterthought, but times have now changed.
#SEASARANCONDO The modern #BangSaray of today has slowly evolved and developed and is now one of the most desirable places to live for expats of all nationalities and backgrounds. From single persons or retirees who seek a den of tranquility, to modern families and couples who want to live near Pattaya without being in Pattaya. As the face of tourism on the Eastern Seaboard changes, Bang Saray is primed to be the next luxury lifestyle location of choice for affluent residents that want to shake off the shackles of Pattaya’s more hedonistic reputation and to create a more wholesome environment for the future.
#SISARAN

The world-class Ocean Marina Yacht Club is just 5 km from Bang Saray and is the largest private yacht club in Thailand, offering the perfect solution to visit the islands.
U-Tapao Airport is only a short drive away and will be even nearer when the new motorway road that is currently being constructed un complete.
A new ferry service from Satthip to Koh Change is currently in the pipeline, which will ensure that people living in Bang Saray will have the most choices possible.
U-Tapao is also currently undergoing a revamp and extension taking its yearly arrivals figures from 800,000 to 3.5 million visitors.
With #BangSaray being one of the newest and most exciting residential options in Thailand, developers such as #Sisaran are changing the way that people live in the region. This world-class developer is revolutionizing living in Bang Saray by creating three of the region’s most desirable and breathtaking condo developments – Sea Saran, Sea Zen and The Mirage. Merging ultra-modern apartments close to #BangSarayBeach with 5-star amenities and facilities, basking amidst stunning natural beauty, the #Sisaran developments really are something to behold. With height restrictions in place for properties near Bang Saray Beach, your views are protected.

KohLarn Activities KohLarn is fundamentally a place of relaxation, with 6 stunning main beaches that really do set them aside from other stretches of sand in the region in terms of development and beauty. Water sports is one of the main things to do on the island, with lots of jet-skiing, paragliding, diving and snorkeling readily available. Being a small island, many people opt to rent a motorbike or a bicycle to explore the island at their own time and pace, which really is a memorable experience. There are also a few viewpoints on the island that offer mesmerizing views of KohLarn, perfect for those who like to explore. Did you ever think that you could find something similar to the beauty of Southern Thailand just a short distance from Pattaya? Nobody does.

3 Stories of
PEOPLE Who Escaped Certain Death
It’s better to be born lucky than born beautiful or smart, but if you have all three, you are onto a winner. Not many of us can hold down all three and make it look easy, but we do try! However, some people take luckiness to a whole new level. We all face daunting situations in our life, but who can honestly say they have escaped certain death? Some might say that certain death is the only certainty in life, and this way of thinking is certainly certain. But here are three stories about people who cheated the Grim Reaper and lived to tell the tale.
18
PattayaCityUncovered.com
Baby Survives 6-Storey Fall It is routine when a baby is born for the doctor to say some smart-arse quip such as ‘she’s going to be trouble when she gets older’, or ‘he looks like the milkman.’ But how many say, ‘this baby will fall from 6-storeys and be caught by a passer-by?’ Not many I would imagine, but that’s exactly what happed to an 18-month old toddler in Frogballs, Arkansas (it wasn’t really in Frogballs, but I couldn’t leave out such a great place name). This story could have quite easily lend itself to the phrase ‘bouncing’ baby boy, but fortunately we will never find out. According to witnesses, this cute little 18-month old toddler was playing Jackie Chan on the balcony of a 6th floor apartment when he fell to ‘certain death’. What are the chances that someone who was coincidently walking by was directly under the baby when he fell? And what are the chances that the savior in question was a doctor, and not a social worker, who caught the baby square on? That is exactly what happened, and the baby is still here to tell the tale, although he just burps when you ask him about it. Door-To-Door Plane Delivery Have you ever been sat at home watching the latest comedy sitcom to be rudely interrupted by an airplane crashing into your living room? Me neither! In May 2014, a pilot was flying upside down above Northglenn, Colorado, when he lost control and crashed unceremoniously into a house. Fortunately, the homeowners were out and had a solid house insurance plan that covered
freak occurrences. The most stunning factor of this crash is not why the pilot was flying upside down in the first place, but he and his crew emerged from the accident uninjured! I wouldn’t want to be the one that had to clean up afterwards. But it could have been much worse. Mountain Climbing is Armless Enough Some say that drug addicts who find themselves with health issues due to their addictions shouldn’t receive free health care. What about mountain climbers and other extreme sport goers that risk life and limb at the taxpayer’s expense? A 27-year old mountain climbing freak named Aaron Ralston from Colorado (what is in the water there?) was alone in a canyon when a 500kg rock collapsed on where he was climbing. Although Aaron wasn’t harmed by the rock, it trapped his arm and he was unable to break free. Not only had Aaron not told his mum, or anyone else, where he was that day, but he also wasn’t wearing clean underwear. For 3 days and nights, Aaron had not seen or heard anyone else in the proximity and took drastic action to save his own life. He had one of those multi-purpose Swiss army knives with a corkscrew, tin-opener and a small pen-knife. After downing a bottle of Crystal, and eating tinned baked beans with those lovely little sausages, Aaron decided to cut off his own hand to break free. And that is what he did. After patching up his arm to stem the blood flow, Aaron had to lower himself down a 20m high canyon and walk 10-miles to safety. Moral to the story is always make sure you wear brown trousers when rock climbing.

Italy and California might seem like an odd couple, like Mariah Carey and that really old music industry mogul who was touching her up for years. Odd is sometimes a good combination, until the police catch up with you of course! Hilarity aside, the ultimate fusion of Cali and Italy really does reach an optimal point with the creation of the white-knuckle riding Ferrari California. Nothing says, “I am better than you” more than owning a fire-red Ferrari and
ripping up the concrete on Sukhumvit Road and leaving BIB wasted in the distance. Wake the gods with its earth-shattering twin turbo V8 that produces 552bhp and 557lb ft of torque, which is ample to waft the Cali to 62mph in 3.6secs and on to a 196mph top whack. Although the Ferrari California might seem like a power beast, it also handles extremely well.
Although this car will not win any brownie points with the ecofriendlysofties, who gives a toss! We are talking about a Ferrari baby! If you want eco-friendly, go and eat a bloody salad! The car might not be ideal for taking the wife to Central Festival for a shopping expedition or for circumnavigatingthe potholes of Pattaya Beach Road, but once you are out on the motorway, you can really open it up and let her go.

LITIGATION IN THAILAND By: Magna Carta Law Office
L
itigation is the process of taking a case to a court of law or carrying on a lawsuit for settling controversies or disputes so that a judgment can be made.
The general courts are ordinary courts which have authorities to try and adjudicate criminal and civil cases. Those courts are: • Civil Courts • Criminal Courts • Provincial Courts • Municipal Courts (Kwaeng Courts) Under Thai Law, the plaintiff must bring a civil case to the court where the cause of action arises or where the defendant is domiciled. Where an immovable property is involved, the plaintiff has to bring a lawsuit to the court where such property is situated, or where the defendant is domiciled. As regards criminal cases, the court in a district where an offence has been committed, alleged or believed to have been committed, or where an accused resides or is arrested, or where an inquiry official conducts an inquiry, has jurisdiction over the cases. The primary function of Municipal Courts is to dispose of small cases quickly with minimum formality and expense. The jurisdiction of these courts covers both criminal and civil cases. Criminal cases fallen in the jurisdiction must deal with the criminal offence punishable with a maximum of three years imprisonment, or fine not exceeding 60,000 baht or both. For civil cases, the amount of claims must not exceed 300,000 baht. The proceeding in Municipal Courts is emphasized on the speedy trial; therefore, the trial is more simple and oral judgment or summarized judgment may be issued. Lawsuits must be filed before the statute of limitations. The length of the litigation procedure depends on the complexity of the legal issues and facts. The volume of cases being handled by the court also affects the process. Some lawsuits can be resolved quickly, whereas
others may take several years to conclude. Whether you are the one filing a lawsuit or the one being sued, it is important that you have an appropriate legal counsel. They will guide you and help to comprehensively and competently evaluate your case at an early stage. Defendants usually have a specific period of time to respond. ALTERNATIVE TO FILING A LAWSUIT There are different alternatives to filing a lawsuit, depending on the legal situation. Mediation and arbitration are two of the several Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) methods for settling disputes without resorting to lawsuits. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) refers to any means of settling disputes outside of the courtroom. It typically includes early neutral evaluation, negotiation, conciliation, mediation, and arbitration. Mediation is a form of dispute resolution facilitated by a neutral third person who assists the disputing parties in finding mutually acceptable solutions. It gives the parties the opportunity to discuss and clear their issues and find areas of agreement. If the parties reach an amicable solution, they may enter into a binding and enforceable compromise agreement. Mediating a case before filing a lawsuit enables the parties to present their case to a neutral third person who assists in finding mutually acceptable agreements before any money is spent on litigation. If those involved in a dispute cannot resolve it by mediation, they often submit it to arbitration. Arbitration takes place out of court. The disputing parties select an impartial third party, known as an arbitrator. Disputing parties agree in advance to comply with the arbitrator’s decision then participate in an informal hearing at which both sides can present evidences and testimony. The arbitrator’s decision is usually final, and courts rarely reexamine it.
Things You Should
NEVERin Thailand DO Have you noticed that life is full of rules? It seems, especially in the Western World, that a multitude of useless and meaningless rules pop up quicker than your mates coming out of the woodwork when it’s your round in the pub. The bureaucratic nonsense that is the bane of the European Union and Western World in modern times makes it easy to be a non-conformist and an anti-establishment rebel, but sometimes adhering to certain rules is not only common sense, but could also save your life or just make things easier.
T
hailand might be low-down on the list of law-makers and rule-followers, but there are a few simple rules you can follow to ensure your holiday runs smoothly with the precision of a Mozart concerto or a military dictatorship (excuse the pun). Standing on the Money Picture this scenario: your Thai date needs some small change from you to buy some fried locusts or a tampon, and the moment you take out your wallet, a crispy 1,000 THB note decides to go it alone and make a run for freedom, floating through the air on a gust of wind.

now chase down this piece of paper like your life depended on it with the guile and tenacity of a CIA taskforce searching for middle-aged white men to chastise or banana republics to destabilize.
Weaving in and out of alleyways, stampeding across dual carriageway motorways, you have now gathered a crowd of people who are intrigued to see the outcome of your endeavors. And then you see it. It’s on the floor in front of a crowded bar just a meter away. You leap through the air like a land-mine victim and use your foot to pin the pesky critter to the floor. Job done! Not quite. What you didn’t realize is that you just stepped on the King of Thailand’s head. It’s just a picture, I hear you proclaim, as bottles and body parts come careering towards you. It’s obviously not just a picture, although the look on your face is. Dissing the Powers That Be I know it’s not always easy to hold your tongue and know your place, as your wife told me last night. However, it is also important to remember we are guests in this country. If you want to go to another country and do what you want while imposing your own views and ways on the local people, go to England for god’s sake. If you live or are on holiday here, it doesn’t matter your visa type, how many orphanages in Lop Buri you have funded or how many Isan villages that depend on your cash supply each month to keep the old buffalo functioning, you have to live by the local laws and life philosophy. Slagging off the military dictatorship, haranguing the Royal Family or explaining to the police that you pay their wages when they stop you for a driving offense will only result in you taking a magical mystery tour to prison. Of course, we need to point out some of life’s uncomfortable truths, but there is a time and place for that, and that time is not now and the place is definitely not in Thailand. Making a Joke about a Thai person in Public We have covered this topic in another article in Pattaya City Uncovered, but losing face is a massive thing in Thailand and SE-Asia. Where I come from, people constantly berate
each other in public, and if you find someone’s weakness, instead of laying off, you really do go for the jugular and wind them up to the point they break or just laugh it off. It’s just the way some Europeans are. But we can safely say that all Thais are not that way inclined! What could be a simple joke in your mind about a Thai person looking like a Teletubby could lead to you waking up with a crowd of people around you. They do not take public criticism very well. If they feel you have made them look stupid in front of other people, especially their friends or superiors, you are in for the shock of your life. Just remember that only small areas of the world understand sarcasm and an ironic sense of humor. Do not make a Thai person lose face in public, or you might lose your face, or definitely part of it!

s we re now well on our way into the second half of the year and holiday time in much of Europe, the markets continue to chug along quite nicely. Some pull backs in Japan and Germany but still positive year to date and you’ll be hard pressed to find a better return on your cash for relatively low risk than established equity markets.
the world is, few would say Tianjin, a place where whilst I have heard of it I know very little about. Three of the world’s top five cities are in China and it now has five mega cities, (cities with a population of more than 10 million) It also has 102 cities with a population of more than 1 million people, to give you a comparison both Europe and the United States combined have 44.

YTD +10.8% +18.0% +3.2% +5.6% +4.2% +5.5%
The currency trends continued, with the USD generally losing ground against other established currencies. GBP still struggling a little with volatility caused by politics. I spoke in my June blog of increased confidence in the Euro which has proven to have been well judged, now getting US$1.18 for one against US$1.12 a couple of months back.

Having used one of Winston Churchill’s quotes here about communism, another of the great man’s comments which although was directed at Russia, could also be used about China. “A riddle, wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma” This is one reason why the Chinese market is one I have stayed away from. Uncertainty about the credibility of the statistics around growth, the MSCI Emerging Market Index only allowed Chinese stocks to be included a few weeks ago, along with the State’s ability to interfere with the stock market make it a difficult place to understand . As you know I buy things I understand. China is clearly a growth story and its size cannot be ignored. If you were asked what the fifth largest city in 34

Urbanisation is happening at the startling rate of 65% and by 2030 there will be more than 1 billion city dwellers in China alone. And with these trends, where does the growth really lie, in the Chinese market or the global players who will fuel these urban Chinese, my opinion is the latter. I have spoken before about the rise of fast food companies in India. To give you a comparison China already has over 2,200 McDonalds and 4,400 KFC compared to India’s 250 and 372 respectively. A 65% increase in urban dwellers means a 65% more people in these cities to feed, someone has to do it and why not the Colonel and Ronald... Apple Pay has just been launched in China where last year US$5.5 trillion was spent on mobile payments, it doesn’t take a huge chunk of that kind of money to increase the bottom line even with a balance sheet as giant as Apple has. Companies grow by the consumer buying and using their products, core stocks mentioned above will continue to benefit from these Chinese consumers and it certainly isn’t slowing down any time soon...

Monkey
- Knock knock - Who’s there? - Lenna! - Lenna who? - Lenna little closer and I’ll tell you!
A guy walks into a bar with his pet monkey. He orders a drink and while he’s drinking, the monkey jumps all around the place. The monkey grabs some olives off the bar and eats them. Then he grabs some sliced limes and eats them. He then jumps onto the pool table and grabs one of the billiard balls. To everyone’s amazement, he sticks it in his mouth, and somehow swallows it whole. The bartender screams at the guy, “Did you see what your monkey just did?” “No, what?” “He just ate the cue ball off my pool table... whole!” “Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me,” replied the guy, “he eats everything in sight. Sorry! I’ll pay for the cue ball and stuff.”
grabs it, sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. Then the monkey finds a peanut, and again sticks it up his butt, pulls it out, and eats it. The bartender is disgusted. “Did you see what your monkey did just now?” “No, what?” replied the man. “Well, he stuck both a maraschino cherry and a peanut up his butt, pulled them out, and ate them!” said the bartender.
The guy finishes his drink, pays his bill, pays for the stuff the monkey ate and leaves. Two weeks later the guy is in the bar again, and has his monkey with him. He orders a drink and the monkey starts running around the bar again. While the man is finishing his drink, the monkey finds a maraschino cherry on the bar. He
